Product Details


Product Description

From Amazon.com

Biber's grand Requiem in A Major was probably written for the funeral of his employer, Archbishop Maximilian of Salzburg. It is a celebratory piece, with trumpets (and timpani added by Savall) and rich orchestration, quite suitable for a heavenbound soul. The quieter moments ("Sanctus") are just as effective as the big ones ("Dies irae"). The CD's opener, a 13-minute "Battalia" for instruments only, is amazingly colorful and contains some weird, entertaining dissonances. The performances by La Capella Reial de Catalunya and Le Concert des Nations are ideal. Biber seems to be coming into his own lately, and the recent CDs devoted to his work are very exciting. He was apparently a virtuoso who enjoyed making big statements; they deserve to be heard. Lovers of "high Baroque" music will be moved and delighted. --Robert Levine


Chronique amazon.fr

Ce n'est pas une exhumation discographique. La version que nous offre Jordi Savall entre en concurrence frontale avec la mouture que Ton Koopman avait gravée voici quelques années pour Erato. Si Koopman a atteint l'excellence, nul doute que Savall a pour lui l'avantage d'une authenticité poussée à son extrême : en réunissant ses troupes musicales sous les arcanes de la cathédrale de Salzbourg, il situe ce Requiem dans le lieu même de sa création. Autant dire que l'entrelacs de voix trouve ici un cadre idéal, identique aux sonorités recherchées par Biber. De la belle ouvrage. --Pierre Guillaume

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of Baroque !, Feb 5 2008
By raul v "raul" (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
The Requiem was a splendid revelation. I have never heard such celestial harmonies before, having listened to quite a bit of Bach, Vivaldi, Handel, or Johnny Raducanu.
The recording quality is splendid, it captured the sonority of the grand Cathedral in Salzburg very well.
If you had money to buy one more recording in your life, this should be it. If you can't afford it, take a loan !
