Johann Simon Mayr Missa in c · Stabat Mater

Read and write feedback
Johann Simon Mayr, born in Upper Bavaria, left a legacy of sixty operas and more than six hundred sacred and chamber music compositions. In the early 18th century, this extremely productive composer was one of the most successful opera composers in Northern Italy and his works were played all over Europe. It is all the more remarkable that he is practically unknown today. The quality of the music cannot be the reason, as is proved by the present recording of the Mass in C minor and the Stabat Mater. Excellent soloists, the Orpheus Vokalensemble und Concerto Köln under the baton of Florian Helgath do justice to the music.

  • 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
  • Soon after it was founded in 1985, Concerto Köln won a firm place in the top rank of orchestras specializing in historical performance practice. From early on, its trade mark was to present musicologically- based interpretations in concerts with a new vitality. And so, Concerto Köln quickly found its way into the leading concert halls and to the major music festivals. Numerous tours have taken the group to North and South America, Southeast Asia, Japan, Israel and most European countries. Concerto Köln has made many recordings for various leading labels and now has a discography of ca. fifty CDs, many of which have won prestigious prizes. The size of the group varies according to program and repertoire. As the ensemble is committed to historical performance practice, it prefers to perform without a conductor. For large-scale productions such as operas and oratorios, Concerto Köln performs with conductors such as René Jacobs, Marcus Creed, Ivor Bolton, David Stern, Daniel Reuss, Pierre Cao and Emmanuelle Haïm. Other artistic partners include notable soloists such as Cecilia Bartoli, Waltraud Meier, Magdalena Kožená, Véronique Gens, Andreas Scholl and Christoph Prégardien, and the actors Bruno Ganz and Ulrich Tukur.

Johann Simon Mayr: Missa in c

... Sehr empfehlenswert!
Markus Eberhardt, DIE BESPRECHUNG, 03/2020

... Ein hochkarätiges Ensemble hat ... die beiden Werke in der hochbarocken Basilika St. Johann in Rot an der Rot aufgeführt und vom SWR dokumentarisch mitschneiden lassen.
Württembergische Blätter für Kirchenmusik, 4/2018

... Deze schitterende cd als degustatie van de religieuze kunst van Mayr, kan enkel bijdragen tot de verdere herontdekking van deze vergeten maar ooit beroemde componist.
Michel Dutrieue, Stretto, 16.12.2017

... Florian Helgath has managed to create a perfect balance between soli and tutti; the soloists are an integral part of the performing apparatus.
Johan van Veen, MusicWeb International, Oktober 2017

... Die Aufführung lässt keine Wünsche offen: Das Orpheus-Vokalensemble empfiehlt sich als wendiges, schlank klingendes ... Mayr-Kollektiv, Concerto Köln sekundiert gewohnt souverän.
Andreas Friesenhagen, Concerto, September/Oktober 2017

... Ich bin von diesen beiden Werken durchaus beeindruckt und allen Beteiligten ist ein überzeugendes Plädoyer für diesen Komponisten gelungen.
Johan van Veen, Toccata, September/Oktober 2017

... The recorded sound of the Orpheus Vokalensemble has a luminous beauty. ... The Concerto Köln has the transparent blend of an early 19th-century ensemble.
Ralph Graves, WTJU, 15.09.2017

... Under Florian Helgath's vigorous direction the chorus sound disciplined and fullbodied... A prime pleasure ... is the playing of Concerto Köln...
Richard Wigmore, gramophone.co,uk, 09.08.2017

...this is a very valuable addition to the growing Mayr discography and should be heard by all with an interest in early 19th century choral music....
Göran Forsling, Musicweb-International

... Florian Helgath dirige al Concerto de Koln y al Orpheus Vocal Ensemble con disciplina y energía, siempre al servicio de unos jóvenes, pero experimentados cantantes...
Alberto G. Clavell, El arte de la fuga, 02.05.2017>

... Der Einspielung gelingt das insofern, als ein hervorragender Chor mit dem dramatischen Gehalt durchaus umzugehen weiß und trotzdem ein profundes Klangfundament liefert.
Haino Rindler, Chorzeit, Mai 2017

... Unter Florian Helgath besticht vor allem das exzellente Orpheus Vokalensemble, das die chorischen Partien ungemein homogen gestaltet, adäquat begleitet von Concerto Köln und vorzüglichen Solisten.
Tiroler Tageszeitung, Mai 2017

... Dieser Kammerchor bringt viel Dynamik ein und phrasiert und akzentuiert so, dass beide Werke zu neuem Leben erweckt werden.
Astrid Belschner, kulturradio.de, 21.03.2017
