Michel Corboz, the renowned Swiss conductor, presents a captivating exploration of sacred choral music with his 2005 album, "Haydn: Missa Sanctae Caeciliae/Bomtempo: Requiem." This album is a testament to Corboz's mastery of classical and choral genres, featuring two monumental works that showcase the depth and breadth of his artistic vision.
The album opens with Joseph Haydn's "Mass in C Major, Hob. XXII:5 'Sanctæ Cæciliæ'," a work that exemplifies Haydn's genius in combining the sacred and the sublime. This mass is a celebration of the life and legacy of Saint Cecilia, the patron saint of music, and Corboz's interpretation brings out the work's profound spiritual and musical richness. The performance features the Orquestra Gulbenkian and the Coro Gulbenkian, renowned ensembles that lend their exceptional talent to this recording.
The second half of the album is dedicated to João Domingos Bomtempo's "Requiem to the Memory of Luiz Vaz de Camões, Op. 23." This lesser-known but equally powerful work is a poignant tribute to the Portuguese poet Luís Vaz de Camões. Corboz's sensitive and nuanced direction brings to life the intricate and expressive composition, providing a rare opportunity to experience Bomtempo's masterful blend of classical and romantic elements.
With a total duration of 1 hour and 59 minutes, this album offers a comprehensive and immersive listening experience. The performances are meticulously crafted, showcasing the technical prowess and artistic sensitivity of all involved. Whether you are a seasoned classical music enthusiast or a newcomer to the genre, this album promises a rewarding and enriching experience. The album was released on November 25, 2005, under the Warner Classics label, ensuring high production standards and audio quality.
