Louis Vierne: Symphonies No. 3 and 5 / Kummer

Louis Vierne is regarded as one of the greatest late romantic composers of organ music. His work comprises an essential contribution to the genre of the French organ symphony. With Symphonies No. 3 and No. 5 Carus has launched a recording of the complete organ works of Vierne on the new Kern organ in the Dresden Frauenkirche. Samuel Kummer, the resident organist in the Frauenkirche, exploits the resources and sonorous possibilities of the organ so that the majestic sound of the music unfolds magnificently in the outstanding acoustic of this great church. This new SACD offers unlimited enjoyment not only for organ music afficiandos.

Exklusive Volkslieder CD-Sammlung, Vol. 3

The overwhelming commitment on the part of all of the artists and their enthusiasm for the folk songs brought such an abundance of first-class material to the project so that a third CD could be released. Once again, first-rate soloists, such as Angelika Kirchschlager, Christiane Oelze und Roman Trekel sing on this CD. In addition, a number of young artists and many ensembles and choirs can be heard [ranging from scorings for the traditional four-voice choir via men’s or women’s choir as well as a children’s choir to even an historic recording by the Comedian Harmonists], who offer much variety with their many-faceted choral colors. The CD Volkslieder, Vol. 3 concludes thiscollection, which has presented the folk song in all of its many facets. All of the artists have approached the theme of the folk song in their own intimate way and have brought to it with their most personal interpretations of the songs. Whether an art song or from folklore, a solo song or an arrangement for choir, each approach to an interpretation of the folk song is equally valid. A song becomes a folk song if over a long period of time it remains rooted in the consciousness of the people, regardless of whether the melody, text and form undergo changes.

Cleofide : Oper in 3 Akten

Hasse's Cleofide of 1731 can be regarded as the zenith of his creative output not least of all because he integrated several of his greatest arias from earlier works into this opera. The theme from antiquity "Alexander's conquests in India" was perfectly suited to flatter August the Strong, a rather unsuccessful commander-in-chief, who at that moment was occupied with the reorganization of his armies. For performance at the Court of Dresden, Metastasio's original libretto was reworked by Michelangelo Boccardi. As a result, the title of the opera was changed from "Alessandro nell' Indie" to "Cleofide" and Faustina Bordoni, the prima donna and wife of Johann AdolfHasse, became the protagonist of the story. Musically, the opera reflected the style of the time. Hasse's expressive and natural style was admired and appreciated by the public professional musicians alike. The vocal parts were "tailor-made" for the singers and in performing this work the outstanding soloists and the orchestra could shine. Hasse always tried to get the utmost from his musicians and in the case of "Cleofide" he achieved a 100% success. The Carus edition of "Cleofide," which has been published as a part of the Hasse-Werkausgabe, is the very first printed edition of this work. It is based primarily on the original parts used for the first performance in 1731 and presents both an accurate musicological rendering of the sources as well as a practical performance edition.

c!3 Chorissimo - Playback-CD

Schauspielmusiken [Box mit 3 CDs]

Apart from his ingenious music for Shakespeare’s comedy A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Felix Mendelssohn’s incidental music for plays is still overshadowed by his symphonies and vocal works. With his hallmark recording of the complete oratorios and choral works, Frieder Bernius has long ago proved that should be considered one of the world’s Mendelssohn experts. Bernius has recorded three of the composer’s incidental music compositions in the past years, demonstrating the extraordinary quality of this far too little-known music. These highly praised recordings are now published for the first time in an attractive box.

Motetten und Chorarien, Heft 3

In his six-volume collection “Motetten und Chorarien” [1779] Johann Adam Hiller compiled the works of his fellow composers in six volumes and published them himself. The third volume of this collection contains compositions of the master motet composers, Homilius and Rolle, as well as works by Graun, Caldara, Fehre, Tag and Hiller. The motet by Caldara, a Latin composition for three lower voices and basso continuo, is in many respects out of place.

Hoppel Hoppel Rhythm Club Vol. 3

Jazz for kids new from Carus! In the "Hoppel Hoppel Rhythm Club" series a group led by the jazz saxophonist Peter Lehel and the composer and pianist Peter Schindler presents popular children’s songs in a creative jazz idiom inviting one and all to swing together. Thus the swinging mill rattles on the rushing stream, the cuckoo and the donkey compete in a singing contest to a cha-cha-cha, the wagon is driven with a groovy "He Ho," until everyone breaks into a sweat, while the bees buzz their little song to a bossa nova. And if someone has baked a cake they can leave with the post coach and bring it right to the beggar man for his wedding. In this way familiar, popularchildren’s songs interpreted by the Hoppel Hoppel Rhythm Club in jazzy arrangements sound surprisingly new and fresh, and with this sound reveal the melodic treasures and word play which are hidden in these great and well-known melodies.

Missa in g. Hasse-Werkausgabe IV/3

After Johann Adolf Hasse had ended his career as a composer for the opera stage and finally settled down in Venice, he wrote a number of sacred works. Since he had long been obligated to the Saxon Court, where he served as a composer for three decades until 1763, these works were originally intended for the Catholic Court Church in Dresden. The solemn-pathetic Missa in G minor [1783], with the inserted movement "Ad te levavi," is Hasse's final work: a crowning conclusion to an oeuvre whose significance in music history has only recently begun to be recognized and has now received the fitting acknowledgement it deserves.
