Free Music Review: If It's a Glorious Concert You Want...
Hit: 5 Stars
...this is the best you will ever hear of the "Spiritual Choir-Music of Heinrich Schuetz (1585-1672). If you are looking for a nostalgic recrudescence of old-time church choir singing, as one previous reviewer was, look elsewhere. This one-disk performance is a selection of ten of the 49 motets in Schuetz's 1648 opus, interspersed with six quite distinct selections from the Kleine Geistliche Konzerte of 1636. The two sources are radically different; the earlier works are in the operatic 'secunda prattica' style of Monteverdi, sung by soloists over decorated basso continuo; the later works are superbly old-fashioned choral polyphony of the 'prima prattica' of composers dead before Schuetz was born. As a concert listening experience, the combination is highly effective, offering a variety and sprightliness that a through-reading of the complete Geistliche Chormusic can't provide.
Having a little extra time, I've just listened comparatively to the three worthy performances of the Geistliche Chormusik in my collection:
Herreweghe's; Bach Collegium Japan under Masaki Suzuki; and Weser-Renaissance Bremen under Manfred Cordes. Both of the others are complete recordings on two CDs, and both are well done. The Herreweghe is so superior in musical quality, however, that I weep and gnash my teeth at the absence of a complete set from his ensemble, the Collegium Vocale. For one thing, Herreweghe is considerably bolder in phrasing and in shifts of tempo. I've performed Schuetz often enough myself to be absolutely convinced that judicious freedom of tempo is the essential spice. For another thing, Herreweghe's choir sounds least like a big chorus of voices none of which are of solo quality. In short, the choir voices are beautifully individualized, sounding almost as 'human' as if they were sung one-on-a-part. Herreweghe is also more adventuresome in dynamic contrasts.
If you love the music of Heinrich Schuetz as much as I do, you'll surely want this performance as well as one of the complete sets, of which I slightly prefer the Suzuki.
