Alfred Schnittke - Choir Concerto (1994)
Classical | EAC (APE, CUE & NO LOG) | 153 MB


“Mind-blowing music, by far the best recording of the Choir Concerto...
Unquestionably one of the choral masterpieces of the 20th century, Alfred Schnittke's Concerto for Mixed Chorus is the summation of Schnittke's style of "new simplicity". Written in the mid 1980s, it is an extended setting of words from "The Book of Lamentations" by the Armenian monk Grigor Narekatsi (951-1003). At 40 minutes, the Concerto is a challenging work for any chorus, but what so impresses both in the music and the performance here is its deceptive, organic simplicity. There's a wonderfully controlled ebb and flow to the phrasing and dynamics that belies the work's complexities.		”

In case you encounter dead or broken links, which there are many as I write, do not write to "hopscotch" (that account has been banned by the folks from higher up). Instead, send all PMs and inquiries to "peachfuzz". I will try my best to answer your questions.

Thanks.
