Music reviews of Liszt: Choral Works
Music Review: This is outstanding!
Rating: 5 Stars
Liszt's choral works are a bit of a innovation. While he was causing controversy with his invention of the 'symphonic poem', his sacred choral works were often criticized because of their secular background.
The Corydon Singers have performed his 'Missa Choralis' very well. Sometimes, I feel that it is quite moving-especially in the Credo, when the choir proclaims the first paragraph of the Latin text. Then it becomes slow and solemn at the part where the soloists tell of the Life of our Lord Jesus Christ. The choir once again returns to it's other tempo at the Ressurection as Christ triumph's over death.
The 'Via Crucis' is a rather odd work. It obviously, was Liszt's depiction of the fourteen stations in the catholic church starting where Jesus Christ is condemned to death and ending with his burial in the tomb. The 'Via Crucis' has instrumental 'movements' where the organ has solos, and Thomas Trotter has done a fairly well job.
I highly recomend this for those who appreciate pure and clear voices. Oh, and don't worry if you can't understand Latin or German. The paper inside gives an English translation.
