Description: | Officium Defunctorum by Paul Mccreesh Gabrieli Consort, released 2 October 2020.
This version of Officium Defunctorum comes as a 2xCD. - LA GRANDE CHAPELLE/ALBERT RECASENSThe Officium defunctorum by Tomás Luis de Victoria, published in 1605, is one of the masterworks of the musical Renaissance, which still moves us with it's austerity and expressive power. It was written "in the style of a swansong" for the funeral rites of the composer's patroness, the empress Maria of Austria, sister of Philip II and widow of the emperor Maximilian II. For the first time in a recording, La Grande Chapelle and Schola Antiqua place the work in it's liturgical context, restoring the two original days: the vigil for the dead and the mass which concludes with the rite of absolution. The funeral rites celebrated in Madrid in 1603 are evoked, by means of respecting the original performing forces, the inclusion of the lection, the responsories and the psalms written by Victoria himself, and the use of plainchant taken from sources of the period. This reading brings us closer in a new way to one of the most important dynastic ceremonies of the Spanish Habsburgs of the beginning of the 17th century."Officium defunctorum" is a remarkable CD release by the acclaimed artists Recasens, Asensio, La Grande Chapelle, and Schola Antiqua. This recording presents one of the most profound works in sacred music: Tomás Luis de Victoria?s "Officium defunctorum," composed in 1603 for the funeral rites of Empress Maria. The ensemble La Grande Chapelle, under the direction of Albert Recasens and with contributions from Juan Carlos Asensio and Schola Antiqua, delivers an interpretation that captures both historical authenticity and emotional depth. Known for their dedication to Renaissance polyphony, these ensembles have received international praise for reviving Spanish Golden Age repertoire with precision and passion. Released by Lauda Musica?a label renowned for its commitment to early music?this album stands as a testament to meticulous scholarship and artistic excellence. |
