>>> Większa okładka A <<< (works from the Russian Orthodox tradition) The Maulbronn Monastery recordings should be enjoyed in conjunction with K&K's evocative website, where you can find numerous photos and sound clips of the concerts on their mostly well-documented CDs; Musical Pointers has reviewed and recommended several oratorio performances. The Don Cossacks Soloists choir is introduced as 'the legitimate successor to the famous Don Cossacks Choir' and one can accept these performances as authentic. The sound is rich and sonorous and we found the record more engaging and compelling listening than anticipated. ---------------------------- RECENZJE New Classics UK | www.new-classics.co.uk/html/religious.html THE DIVINE LITURGY The Don Cossacks Soloists Wanja Hlibka In this recording of a Maulbronn Monastery choir concert, the Don Cossacks Soloists Wanja Hlibka sing works from the Russian Orthodox tradition by Maximowitsch (Wir verbeugen uns vor Deinem Kreuz), M. Lovorsky, Pjotr Iljitsch Tschaikowsky (In der Kirche), Alexandre Gretschaninow (Credo), Kastalsky, Fatejev, Dimitrij Bortnjanskij (Tedeum Laudamus) and the Kiev Melodies. The compositions carefully selected for the liturgically conceived Musica Sacra reveal surprising new insights into the high art of sacred Russian music and tradition. The outstanding a cappella ensemble performing here was founded in 1991 by Wanja Hlibka and George Tymczenko, who were both formerly soloists in the acclaimed Don Cossacks Choir until its disbandment in 1979. The Don Cossacks Soloists perform live and without amplification, even in such large venues as the Musikhalle in Hamburg, the Messehalle in Frankfurt or the Gewandhaus in Leipzig. The rich and emotional music of the Russian Orthodox Church is not often heard in the Western world, making this atmospheric and moving CD a wonderful addition to the beautifully produced Maulbronn Edition. -------------------------- TV today / F.F. Kulturmagazin Don Kosaken Solisten Wanja Hlibka Die reiche und tief empfundene Musik der russisch-orthodoxen Kirche ist eine Kostbarkeit. Kein Ensemble kann die göttliche Liturgie überzeugender vermitteln als die legitimen Nachfolger des legendären Don Kosaken Chores unter Serge Jaroff. Wanja Hlibka und George Tymczenko, jahrelang Solisten bei Jaroff, haben sein Erbe angetreten und 1991 ein Ensemble gegründet, das hochkarätige Solisten des Bolschoitheaters vereint und durch die unnachahmliche Transparenz gregorianischer Gesänge besticht. Der Konzertmitschnitt vom 25. Juni 2000 im Kloster Maulbronn enthält u.a. Werke von Maximowitsch, Tschaikowsky und aus der 'Kiewer Melodie'. >>> RECENZJE PRASY SWIATOWEJ <<<
