Product Description

Ernst Krenek's "Vocal Compositions" is a captivating journey through the world of chamber music, released on August 17, 1980, under the Baroque Records label. This album is a testament to Krenek's versatility and mastery, featuring a diverse collection of vocal works that span various themes and moods.

The album opens with "Die Jahreszeiten, Op. 35," a four-part choral work that beautifully depicts the changing seasons. Each movement, from the vibrant "Der Frühling" to the serene "Der Winter," showcases Krenek's ability to evoke vivid imagery through music. Following this, "Drei Gemischte Chöre, Op. 61" offers a trio of mixed choruses, each with its own distinct character, from the lively "In Der Stadt" to the nostalgic "Schifferliedchen."

Krenek's sacred works are also highlighted, with "Three Sacred Pieces" and "Three Lessons" offering profound and reflective pieces. The album concludes with "Two Settings Of Poems By William Blake, Op. 226," a poignant setting of Blake's poetry, and the hauntingly beautiful "Durch Die Nacht."

With a total duration of 45 minutes, "Vocal Compositions" is a concise yet rich exploration of Krenek's choral and vocal compositions. It's an album that invites repeated listening, revealing new layers and nuances with each play. Whether you're a longtime fan of chamber music or a newcomer to the genre, this album offers a rewarding and enriching experience.

This LP was released in 1980.
