Im Mittelpunkt dieser CD steht Philippe de Monte, von 1568 bis zu seinem Tod Hofkapellmeister in Wien und Prag war. Monte schrieb mehr als 1000 Madrigale, über 300 Motetten und etwa 40 Messen. Das vorliegende Porträt widmet sich ganz seiner geistlichen Musik und stellt neben der »Missa Ultimi miei sospiri« mehrere seiner Motetten nach biblischen Texten vor. Sie zeigen das breite Spektrum an Techniken und Stilen, über die Monte verfügte.
Product-Information:
In their third disc for Hyperion, the acclaimed vocal ensemble Cinquecento continue their exploration of the rich repertoire engendered in the Habsburg court. The prolific composer De Monte, Kapellmeister to the Emperor Maximilian II, wrote over a thousand madrigals as well as hundreds of sacred works, and the expressive aspects of the madrigal infuse his sacred music delightfully. His Missa Ultimi miei sospiri contains the constant interplay between groups of voices and dramatic word-setting which are features of the madrigal genre. The motets recorded here cover many Biblical and liturgical subjects and demonstrate the wide range of techniques and styles used by the composer.
Rezensionen
'An enticing snapshot of [Monte's] musical personality. Detailed word-painting and an imaginatively dramatic response to his texts' changing moods are displayed in pieces such as Ad te levavi and Miserere mei' (Daily Telegraph)
'Their performances make it clear that Monte is a composer of distinction' (BBC Music Magazine)
'Beautifully blended sound by a young pan-European vocal sextet, rich with character and individuality in rare 16th-century polyphony' (Classic FM Magazine)
'The music is beautifully performed and well worth a listen; Monte's settings are full of variety and fruity chromaticisms, and Cinquecento more than does him justice' (Choir and Organ magazine)
