Credo / Sirmais, State Choir Latvija
Two opulent choral masterpieces by Richard Strauss frame an eclectic program from one of Europe's most highly acclaimed choirs. The name of the young Slovenian composer Matej Kastelic may still be relatively little known, but the title track "Credo / I believe" is simply extraordinary, and demands to be heard.
REVIEW
The Latvians are ravishing in Strauss’s formidable "Deutsche Motette," which is essentially a concerto for choir, the composer treating the ensemble in the same way as a vast orchestra. The impressively vibrant choral sound and emotional ebb and flow ensure this recording encourages repeated listening.
