Richard Strauss' choral works are seldom performed, not least because of the enormous demands they place on the singers. “What he called for in terms of tessitura and breath technique in his Deutsche Motette went far beyond the normal vocal possibilities”, wrote Strauss' biographer Ernst Krause. But the pieces are also enchantingly beautiful, a reason in itself to devote an entire concert programme to this composer and then to record it.
Richard Strauss had shown his enthusiasm for ancient Greece in his musical composition, especially in his operas and choral works. The main work on this Coviello recording is the German Motet, written in 1913 and full of stylistic complexity that it is essential to read the scores in order to find one’s way in the dizzying constructions or even begin to appreciate the dimension of the work. On this recording the multi award-winning Berlin Radio Choir, under Michael Gläser and accompanied by the State and Berlin Cathedral Choir, sings Strauss’ Choral Works with immaculate finesse.
