Description:

Jozef KozLowski: Requiem by Boris Stepanov, released 19 April 2024. This version of Jozef KozLowski: Requiem comes as a 1xCD. -

The Singapore Symphony and it's music director Hans Graf present a recording of Józef Kozlowski's Requiem, together with the Singapore Symphony Chorus & Youth Choir, as well as a quartet of outstanding soloists: Olga Peretyatko (soprano), Olesya Petrova (mezzo-soprano), Boris Stepanov (tenor) and Christoph Seidl (bass). The Requiem (1798) was commissioned to Kozlowski by the abdicated King Stanislaw of Poland, and can be perceived as a requiem not just for the monarch, but for the entire Polish nation, absorbed by the Russian state during the 1780s. Interestingly, the work was also heard during the funeral of Tsar Alexander I of Russia, in a different version with heavier orchestration and choruses for more drama. The current recording uses a new edition created by conductor Graf himself, realizing the intimate character of the original 1798 version. Composed just 7 years after Mozart's famous Requiem, the work is rooted in Viennese Classicism, yet also adumbrates nineteenth-century developments, with a subtle Slavonic tinge. This revival is a gem to anyone interested in music from the early Romantic era.

The CD "Kozlovzki: Requiem" presents a powerful and moving interpretation of Alexander Kozlovski's contemporary requiem, performed by an outstanding ensemble featuring Olga Peretyatko (soprano), Yulia Petrova (mezzo-soprano), Dmitry Stepanov (tenor), Markus Seidl (bass-baritone), and the Singapore Symphony Orchestra. Under the baton of a distinguished conductor, this recording captures both the emotional depth and modern resonance of Kozlovski?s composition. The soloists are internationally acclaimed artists: Olga Peretyatko is renowned for her luminous voice and roles at major opera houses worldwide; Yulia Petrova has captivated audiences with her expressive mezzo performances; Dmitry Stepanov stands out for his lyrical tenor timbre; Markus Seidl brings gravitas to every bass-baritone role he undertakes. The Singapore Symphony Orchestra, known for its versatility and excellence, adds further brilliance to this release. Pentatone, the label behind this production, is celebrated globally for its high-fidelity recordings in classical music?delivering exceptional sound quality that immerses listeners in each performance.
