About

Renaissance polyphony and contemporary sound clouds orbit around vocal late Romanticist like satellites. The Zurich Chamber Singers, conducted by Christian Erny, unearth a special narrative drama. Starting with Anton Bruckner, they turn their attention to Palestrina as a point of reference. At the same time, they cast a spotlight back on the work of the Austrian vocal innovator through three contemporary works. A comprehensive selection of Bruckner's Latin motets combined with chosen works by Palestrina and three world premiere recordings of the Stuttgart composer Burkhard Kinzler’s commissioned works. The intelligent conceptualisation of the album in combination with the young, outstanding and transparent interpretation of the Zurich Chamber Singers under their director Christian Erny stand in direct succession to the previous release "O Nata Lux".

Reviews

December 2022

As well as reminding us what a superb choral composer Bruckner was, this admirable album places his music alongside Palestrina and the contemporary Burkhard Kinzler to excellent effect. The fresh-sounding choir suits the music very well.

May/June 2023

The 24 members of the Zurich Chamber Singers, under Erny’s consistently revelatory direction, impart serenity with an edge to each unique and yet connected piece. Here is an album that invites us to seek a meaning beyond words and dogma and offers an oasis of peace in a fractured world.
