Free Music Notes for Sch?tz: Symphoni? Sacr? III
Free Music Review: Sacred, Sublime, and Sensational!
Hit: 4 Stars
Heinrich Schutz almost bears the musical relationship to Bach that St. John the Forerunner does to Jesus Christ. Schutz' sacred music contains all the foreshadowing of Divine Masterpiece that you would expect of one who prefigured Bach's magnificent Cantatas. And yet, Schutz stands well on his own and is great in his own right.
Certainly, when Schutz fled to Venice during the 30 years' war and composed Symphoniae Sacrae I as an homage to Gabrielli, he earned his chops as a master. Years later, when he returned to his native German lands and tongue, he proved he had lost nothing.
Stephan Schreckenberger, a master of period music, brings this work, Symphoniae Sacrae III to life in a flawless rendition, with good technical and artistic qualities. The vocalists are talented and on their form.
Recommended for: Enthusiasts of early-mid baroque music, sacred music, Bach and/or Schutz or Giovanni Gabrielli.
High Points: The very first track on the first CD, Der Herr ist mein Hirt (The Lord is My Shepherd- psalm 23) is haunting. In a number of places on both CDs, the performers manage to almost make the instruments sing with human voice. The libretto translation is also good--almost surprisingly so for this genre!
Low points: If the listener is expecting the sublime, Roman-church-style Latin, the German rendition of these works might be a bit jarring. Also, I can't imagine a less appropriate bit of folder art for what is generally a gentle compilation.
