Delphian’s superchoir reunites after its highly successful recording of Rodion Shchedrin’s The Sealed Angel, this time for a unique programme of German music from Schubert to Richard Strauss.
Strauss’s sumptuous "Deutsche Motette" is the last word in late Romantic choral opulence, its teeming polyphony brought to thrilling life by this virtuoso cast of over sixty singers. The rest of the programme explores the vivid colours and shadowy half-lights of a distinctly German music that reached its culmination in Strauss’s extravagant masterpiece. The singing throughout combines a musical intensity and imagination with an understanding of period style, two qualities that are hallmarks of both choirs’ work.
