Immerse yourself in the profound and uplifting choral masterpieces of Haydn and Bomtempo with Michel Corboz at the helm. This album, released on November 25, 2005, under Warner Classics, presents a stunning blend of classical requiem, choral, and orchestral compositions that span nearly two hours of captivating music.
Michel Corboz, renowned for his exceptional conducting, leads the Chorus of the Gulbenkian Foundation and the Gulbenkian Orchestra in a breathtaking performance of Joseph Haydn's "Missa Sanctae Caeciliae" in C Major, Hob. XXII:5. This celebrated mass is a testament to Haydn's genius, showcasing his mastery of choral writing and his ability to evoke deep spiritual reverence. The album opens with the serene "Kyrie" and unfolds through the joyous "Gloria," the reflective "Credo," and the triumphant "Sanctus," culminating in a powerful and moving "Agnus Dei."
Complementing Haydn's masterpiece is the lesser-known but equally compelling "Requiem to the Memory of Luiz Vaz de Camões" by Portuguese composer João Domingos Bomtempo. This work, dedicated to the memory of the great Portuguese poet, is a poignant exploration of loss and consolation. The "Requiem" begins with the haunting "Introïtus: Requiem aeternam" and continues through the dramatic "Dies irae" and the sorrowful "Lacrymosa," culminating in a serene and hopeful "Agnus Dei."
The album features an impressive lineup of soloists, including Bernarda Fink, Charles Burles, and Charles Daniels, whose voices soar above the chorus and orchestra, adding depth and richness to the performances. The meticulous attention to detail and the passionate interpretation by Michel Corboz and his ensemble make this album a standout in the classical choral repertoire. Whether you are a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album promises an enriching and spiritually uplifting experience.
