CD Reviews

Beautiful music for chorus by a neglected master

Jamie S. Weiner | Painted Post, NY | 05/07/2007

(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a collection of secular choral music by Josef Gabriel Rheinberger (1839-1901), a master of all forms whose works are unfortunately rarely performed today. He is primarily known for his organ music, but also composed a great deal of both sacred and secular choral music. The variety of moods evoked in this extraordinarily beautiful music is astounding, ranging from despair and sorrow to dreaminess and jubilation. The very last selection, Die Nacht (The Night), scored for SATB, string trio, and piano is the most wonderful of all. It is an appropriately dreamy lyrical outpouring that evokes the magic and mystery of a woodland night (and also happens to be in my favorite key, D flat major). The Vocalensemble Rastatt performs these works with all the love and tenderness they deserve. The sounds they produce are simply ravishing, and represent the best and most beautiful choral singing I have ever heard. This recording is strongly recommended for anyone who loves choral music as well as those listeners who are tired of hearing the same hackneyed works performed over and over again and would like to explore the unfamiliar repertory of these unjustly neglected masterpieces."
