¡Schumann: Choral Works
¡Aapo Hakkinen (conductor), Helsinki Baroque Orchestra, Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir
Description
[Machine Translation] Two of Schumann's rarely performed collections of choral works, "On Peasants and Princesses" and "Songs of Advent", and Schumann's arrangement of Bach's Cantata No. 105 will be performed by the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir and the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra led by Hakkinen. The Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir and the Helsinki Baroque Orchestra, led by Hakkinen, will perform these three works. Songs of Advent" was composed in November 1848 and is based on a poem by Ruckert, and is an impressive work in which Schumann sings a long, sustained melody that is typical of his mature period. When the "Old Bach Society" was founded in Leipzig in 1850 to publish the complete works of J.S. Bach, Schumann wrote in his "New Musical Times" that Bach's works were important and that he would promote them by arranging and performing some of them. Schumann also promoted Bach by arranging and performing some of his works in his "New Music Bulletin". This cantata was arranged for his own performance in 1849. It is also filled with Schumann's favorite sounds.
