NISI DOMINUSArias and Cantatas of the baroqueat the Monastery Church Riddagshausen |
Order! |
This CD presents a selection of solo cantatas and arias justly known as gems of the baroque period. Although they are often performed by countertenors, as a result of historicising intentions, a warm woman's voice has very intentionally been given preference for these interpretations – very much in line with the working title "Mezzo Goes Counter". As with all productions by SICUSKlassik, the determining factor of this project was the principle of recording only with natural room sound in concert halls and only with dual-canal stereo microphones. In searching for a suitable recording place, the choice fell upon the High Choir of the Monastery Church Riddagshausen in Braunschweig, a Cistercian church dating from 1275. The natural echo of approximately 7 seconds is certain to communicate a penetrating spatial experience to the listener of this CD. |
