Heinrich Schütz: Kleine geistliche Konzerte [Box set]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Heinrich Schütz published two volumes of Kleine geistliche Konzerte ("Little Sacred Concertos") during the 1630s. They're certainly small in scale compared to the lavish Psalm settings in the composer's Psalmen Davids; these "concertos" are mostly solos, duets, and trios, with no instruments but keyboard or lute. (The Thirty Years War wrecked the economy of central Europe, and the resources for grander church music weren't available--and neither, most likely, was the inclination to perform it.) Yet this is some of the sweetest, most tender music Schütz ever wrote. For example, the way in which the melodic lines in the duos and trios wrap themselves around each other, come apart briefly, and rejoin is magical; the solo tenor in "O misericordissime Jesu" adores the name of Jesus with as much passion as anything in Monteverdi. Weser-Renaissance, a German ensemble that deserves to be much better known, gives us all the Konzerte--on three discs for the price of two, no less--in exemplary performances with careful attention to the text that was so important to Schütz. The standard of singing is generally high, but sopranos Susanne Rydén and Nele Gramß have such beautifully pure tone and musical rapport that they're surely first among equals here. --Matthew Westphal

I bought this recording primarily for it's documentary value. Complete recordings of the Kleine geistiche Konzerte are not encountered every day, and despite knowing almost nothing of the performers, I looked forward to owning this three CD set. Much to my surprise, the performances were every bit as exciting as the recording feat is impressive. These are not sterile, academic readings but rather fully formed and moving performances of this exquisite music. The vocal style is occasionally more "modern" than one expects in early music, but I welcome the full-throated singing which is always attentive to the passion of the texts. An excellent example is the duet "Habe deine Lust an dem Herrn" by sopranos Susanne Ryden and Nele Gramss, which is one of the real highlights of this set. Alongside the many familiar favorites are many lesser known gems. Many thanks to Manfred Cordes and Wesen-Remaissance Bremen for 195+ minutes of pure pleasure.

    4 out of 5 stars a voice teacher and early music fan.......2007-04-22

    The 'Kleine geistliche Konzerte'and 'Symphonie sacrae'(selections from both are on this disc) contain an assortment of styles and many individual pieces change style from one section to another, but the different style characteristics remain separately discernible to the listener. In the concertatos on this recording Schutz has employed all the devices known by contemporary Italian composers. They are: dissonance, abrupt changes of tone centre, chromaticism, echo effect, and secco recitative. Moreover, the phrasing moves with the inflections and rhythm of the spoken language, which is usually German. This recording is a reconstruction as 'authentic' as possible, for it is the blend of the mature, male alto voice, with the transparent, and emotionally innocent boy soprano,'that Schutz heard in his mind and which was artistically so pleasing to him'.
    Some of these pieces are soprano solos, some are alto solos and some duets, all capably accompanied by 4 instruments: organ-violoncelle-archiluth and violons. The instrumental sound is always appropriately under the voices, and do not play 'out' except on instrumental solos, that are not all that frequent.
    There is no doubt that the lead singer is the boy soprano: Sebastian Hennig who is nigh unto amazing!!! His upper notes are pure 'gold' and his tone quality very even throughout his entire range. A joy to hear him!!I am very familiar with Rene Jacob's alto voice, and he is quite skilled in everything he does, but I wish that he would remain a conductor for his voice actually annoys me after about 10 minutes of his singing. However, he is considered to be an excellent male alto, and therefore I'm probably the only one in the world that doesn't like it. Positively speaking he is very good at blending with the soprano and does not oversing at any time. In fact, I prefer his duets on this disc to his solos. Five of my favorites from this album are: 'Wie ein Rubin in feinem Golde' (As a ruby gleams in fine gold)-'O Susser, o freundlicher' (O sweet, O kind)-"Bone Jesu" (O kind Jesus)-'Bringt her dem Herrn' (Give Unto the Lord)-'Herzlich lieb hab ich dich o Herr' (I will love thee O LOrd, My strength).

    5 out of 5 stars Schutz: Kleine geistliche Konzerte.......2007-04-18

    Beautiful sound. The title is misleading, however, since this CD includes selected recordings from Symphoniae Sacrae as well as from Kleine geistliche Konzerte.

          The Kleine Geistliche Konzerte, scored for one, two, or three voices (occasionally up to five) with continuo, make up in beauty and fervor what they lack in sumptuousness. Schütz uses the declamatory recitative he learned from Venetian opera to express spiritual passion and ecstasy--qualities that don't come across here. You can hear the singers making subtle crescendos, shaping phrases--doing the "musical" things--to little effect. Certainly their rhythm is too rigid; perhaps the miking is too distant. The effect is like film actors on stage: the gestures are all there, but they're scaled too small to make an impact. There's no other survey of these works around right now; to hear how wonderful they can be, try the fillers on Philippe Herreweghe's Musikalische Exequien disc. --Matthew Westphal
