Choruses For Male Voices And Orchestra / Lund Student Singers, Malmo Opera Orchestra
Drawing on the romantic spirit in music, Schubertâs moving setting is of a poem by Goethe which compares a rushing waterfall to the soul of man, while Straussâs gorgeous Mittagsruhe depicts the peace of a summer noontide. Narrative vocal traditions are heard in Sibeliusâs nationalist Vapautettu kuningatar, Brucknerâs heroic Helgoland, and Griegâs Landkjenning, which tells of the 10th-century Norwegian king Oleg Tryggvason. Das Liebesmahl der Apostel anticipates the religious ecstasies of Wagnerâs Parsifal, while Debussyâs early cantata Invocation resonates with Gallic sparkle.
