Delphian’s superchoir reunites after it’s highly successful recording of Rodion Shchedrin’s The Sealed Angel (Delphian DCD34067), this time for a unique program of German music from Schubert to Richard Strauss. Strauss’s sumptuous Deutsche Motette is the last word in late Romantic choral opulence, it’s teeming polyphony brought to thrilling life by this virtuoso cast of over sixty singers. The rest of the program explores the vivid colors and shadowy half-lights of a distinctly German music that reached it’s culmination in Strauss’s extravagant masterpiece. The singing throughout combines a musical intensity and imagination with an understanding of period style, two qualities that are hallmarks of both choirs’ work.
