ALLEGRI, Gregorio - Composers

   Found CDs: 8
 

Composer: ALLEGRI, Gregorio ((1582-1652))
ALLEGRI, Gregorio His/her music:
A nine-part Miserere, which Mozart is said to have written down from memory after having heard it only once.
Dirk Jaehner <jaehnermuenster.de> adds: It is true that the young Mozart wrote it down from memory after hearing it one time. His father was very anxious about that because it was forbidden to copy this work. But at that time the Pope himself had given it away a few times. And, freely spoken, this work is not very interesting in its music but in its affection and in its way of performance in the Vatican. Mendelssohn wrote about the performance in a letter that by the time the singing starts the church is completely dark, an one after the other the candles were lit while the choir sings the stanzas of the "Miserere".
His/her life:
Sang tenor at the S. Luigi dei franchesi. At the papal chapel from 1629.

ID: COR16047

Type: CD
Collection: Sacred Music
Subcollection: Choir

Recorded in November 2006, this disc offers a fascinating collection of works written for the Papal Chapel. Researched and sung by one of the world's leading choirs, The Sixteen and Harry Christophers, this recording includes many world premiere recordings of these rarely heard sacred works. Felice Anerio displays a fluid mastery of the Roman style of composition, and some of his surviving settings are shown to advantage here, in particular his glorious twelve-part setting of Stabat Mater, more ambitious and possibly more beautiful than those by Palestrina and Lassus. Gregorio Allegri is famous for his Miserere (available on coro as cor16014); this recording contains representative examples of his polyphonic style. Together with settings by the towering figure of Palestrina, all receive warm and vital performances.

Naked Byrd: Featuring music by composers who wore their hearts on their sleeves and whose art saw their emotions laid bare. An atmospheric concert where magical musical moments are intertwined with sublime passages of plainchant and violin improvisation.

The varied programme of this recording identifies, as Armonico Consort’s director, Christopher Monks describes, ‘... a wide range of pieces united by the tendency of their composers to wear their hearts on their sleeves and their ability to fix a sense of raw emotion on paper’. For the majority of the composers represented here, the reasons for revealing naked sentiments through their music is as a response to a religious theme, whether through the suppression of particular relgious practices or the influence of relgious ideals themselves. Crossing several centuries, from the sixteenth to the present day this disc displays how every generation has been inspired to use both sacred and secular music as a powerful medium to express their personal emotions.

Includes Allegri's Miserere MeiSt Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Carmen Giannattasio, Veronica Simeoni, Alxander Timchenko, Carlo Colombara & Yuri Temirkanov St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Carmen Giannattasio, Veronica Simeoni, Alxander Timchenko, Carlo Colombara & Yuri Temirkanov Artist: St Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra, Carmen Giannattasio, Veronica Simeoni, Alxander Timchenko, Carlo Colombara & Yuri Temirkanov


The Armonico Consort is, at its heart, a highly talented vocal ensemble that stages a wide variety of concerts. The quality of the performances they stage is reflected in the praise they have recently received: "Superb!" The Times

Live in Grand Hall of the Moscow Tchaikovsky Conservatory, April 22, 2013
This recorded concert was the final event of an international musicological conference with concerts and workshops entitled “The Unknown Renaissance: Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck’s 450th Anniversary». The Russian audience had the opportunity to listen to the vocal music of the “last great Dutch composer": Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck (1562-1621), as well as the music of his contemporaries. The compact disc opens with Sweelinck’s Christmas motet “Hodie Christus natus est”, SwWV 163 from the collection “Cantiones sacrae” published in 1619. It is followed by the motet “Ascendit Deus” by Peter Philips (c.1560/61-1628), an English composer who spent the most fruitful part of his life in the Spanish Netherlands. In 1593 Philips made a special trip to Amsterdam in order to meet Sweelinck, who previously, in 1580, had written a cycle of variations on Philips’s Pavane. Philips’s motet “Ave verum corpus” is followed by a composition set to the same text by one of his teachers, William Byrd (c. 1540/1543-1623).
