RESPIGHI Christus Biblical Cantata (CD Claves) BALDERI Hermann GAIFA Sarti

Description: OTTORINO RESPIGHIChristusBiblical Canata in Two Partsfor Soloists, Chorus & OrchestraSt. Matthew Carlo Gaifa tenor Christ Roland Hermann baritoneJudas Gastone Sarti bass Chorus della Radiotelevisione della Svizzera ItalianaOrchestra della Svizzera ItalianaMarco Balderi, conductor The cantata is in two equal parts with the sung text being in Latin. The first part leads us from the Last Supper to the departure for the Mount of Olives. The second leads us from Olivet to end at Calvary. Respighi sets a text that manages to compress at the end in a handful of lines the death of Christ and his Rising. The amount of sung material is quite small so the work often comes across as an extended reflective tone poem with choral and solo singing at climactic nodes. 39 page booklet with Latin text and French, German and English translations. This is a recording of the live world premiere of Christus. It seems to have been a successful event and is valuable far beyond being a mere document of that occasion. If you are concerned about audience noise, don’t be. This was a studio session prepared for radio broadcast 2 June 1991. Is this worth tracking down? Respighians will have to have this. Others? Well, if you have a weakness for the Requiems by Verdi and Stanford, Parry’s Job, Elgar’s biblical cantatas or the big choral extravaganzas of Berlioz then you should certainly get a copy. You will be agreeably surprised. This is certainly not a piece of pallid juvenilia.
