Chormusik zu Advent und Weihnachten
Advent and Christmas have their special sound. Particularly in choral music, some wonderful works have survived over the centuries. The Orpheus Vokalensemble, under the direction of Michael Alber, presents a cross section of this repertoire traversing both countries and centuries. Their selection encompasses traditional songs, presents well-known repertoire in new, entertaining arrangements, and contains seldom-heard compositions and unknown treasures in different languages. The result is a warm and wonderful CD which is a true feast for the ears and the heart that will still stimulate people to sing along. Now Christmas can come.

Preface writer
Orpheus Vokalensemble
The Orpheus Vokalensemble was founded in 2005 as the professional chamber choir of the Landesmusikakademie Baden-Württemberg. This is an international ensemble which places the highest vocal demands on its members. Internationally recognized choral conductors are engaged for each assignment, and they exercise lasting influence on the artistic quality of the ensemble. Its model is the legendary Orpheus Chamber Orchestra (New York), whose name it shares. Its artistic aims, in the preparation and performance of works, are to bring the fundamentals of chamber music – personal commitment and mutual respect – to bear on the work of a vocal ensemble. Its members have the right to participate in the choice of repertoire, soloists, conductors and concert programs. Several composers have already written works for the Orpheus Vokalensemble, including Bo Hansson, Knut Nystedt, Gregor Hübner and Jürgen Essl. In 2006 the ensemble was invited to the International Lake Constance Festival. Other invitations to important festivals have followed. Personal details

Reviews
Sehr fein gesungen […].
Gustav Danzinger, Chor aktuell, Nr. 142, Dezember 2013
Ein bemerkenswertes A-cappella-Niveau ist auf dieser Scheibe zu hören. Interpretationschancen werden nicht nur genutzt, sondern ausgekostet.
Johannes Adam, Badische Zeitung, 2. Dezember 2013
