Music reviews of Consider, My Soul: Sacred Arias

Music Review: Quasthoff Focuses on Sacred Works and Makes Them New
Rating: 5 Stars

Thomas Quasthoff continues to astonish us with the depth of his sensitivity to a broad range of vocal repertoire. Just when it seems as though he is settling in to the Romantic and Post-Romantic works he records this album of works by the masters of the earlier era.

Singing with the fine support of the Dresden Staatskapelle conducted by Sebastian Weigle, Quasthoff re-visits works that made him famous. From Bach he has selected arias from the Christmas Oratorio and from both the St John and the St Matthew Passions. The color and extensive range of his baritone voice are simply amazing and he brings to these arias conviction and communication. Likewise with the excerpts form Handel's Messiah he converses with solo instruments in a sense of uncanny equality. From Mendelssohn he offers arias from both Elijah and Paulus: few baritones can compare to his dramatic sense he brings to these works.

For this listener, ending the recital with versions of 'Swing Low, Sweet Chariot' and 'Deep River' diminishes the majesty of the CD. Not that his resonant voice is not as tender and warm as any recorded version of these spirituals, for the singing is rich and moving. It just feels like an abrupt change, or encore, to the heftier works on the CD. A small quibble. It remains a fine recording experience. Grady Harp, November 06

Description of Consider, My Soul: Sacred Arias

Thomas Quasthoff follows his internationally acclaimed and Grammy® winning Bach Cantatas recording with an atmospheric program of sacred arias, including selections from oratorios by Bach, Handel, Haydn and Mendelssohn. Mr. Quasthoff’s warm, expressive bass-baritone voice perfectly suits this music—a genre that has always been both central to his artistic life and close to his heart. Pieces include Handel’s ?"The trumpet shall sound?" from the Messiah, ?"Schon eilet froh der Ackermann?" from Haydn’s Die Jahreszeiten, and excerpts from Bach’s St. Matthew Passion and Christmas Oratorio. The album also includes a special version of the spiritual classic ?"Swing Low, Sweet Chariot.?"

With Thomas Quasthoff’s unique artistry supported by the acclaimed Staatskapelle Dresden, Consider My Soul is a revelation of beauty and power.
