GD 128 ANIMATO Mixed Choir Orchestra Ensemble, Guy CONDETTE - J. HAYDN
Issued: 1998
Style: Classical Music
Company: Gega New, GD128
The CD offers to cult-music lovers a gem from the work of Joseph HAYDN, popular mainly for his symphonies, concertos and two oratorios. The great Austrian has been connected with sacred music since childhood as choir-member and soloist of the famous boys' choir of the "St. Stephen" Cathedral in Vienna in the course of ten years. Among his numerous religious compositions was the orchestral work, commissioned for the consecration of the church in Cadiz, Spain, and later revised into a vocal-instrumental opus for soloists, choir and orchestra. It is for this reason that its separate parts bear purely instrumental names, sonata. Each of them begins with the Saviour's words on the cross. The work ends with the brief yet shattering Terremoto, depicting the earthquake after Christ's death.
The recording was made during a performance at Bulgaria Concert Hall of the ANIMATO Mixed Choir under Mihail Milkov, the famous choral conductor, ORCHESTRAL Ensemble, soloists Bistra Zlatkova, Galya Pavlova, Vesslin Hristov and Nikolai Petrov under the baton of French conductor Guy CONDETTE, Music Director of the Limoges Opera Theatre and Philharmonic who has toured with most famous French, German, Austrian, Italian, Spanish, etc. orchestras and opera theatres.
The CD completes the series of GEGA NEW's releases of Western and Eastern liturgical music and is a rarity in world's recording practice.
