About the album

The Utrecht Vocal Soloists are an ensemble of nine young singers, all of them former pupils of baritone Udo Reinemann. Not only do they profit from Udo Reinemann's own experience as a world-famous international concert singer and from his great pedagogic gifts, but also from his adventurous musical spirit in performing repertory for various vocal ensembles. Udo Reinemann himself sings the solo part In Schubert's haunting Ständchen (serenade) and the tenor solo parts in Nachthelle, Mondenschein and Sehnsucht are sung by tenor Kor-Jan Dusseljee, who works at the great German opera houses as a Mozart singer of the highest esteem.
Prachtige vocale werken van Schubert die zelden worden opgenomen
Er zijn maar weinig albums met uitvoeringen van deze werken, die gezien kunnen worden als de mooiste vocale composities die Schubert ooit schreef, Onder deze werken zijn ook het beroemde Nachtgesang im Walde met begeleiding van vier solohoorns en het even beroemde en geliefde Gesang der Geister über den Wassern met begeleiding door een strijkensemble, op een gedicht van Goethe. Bariton Udo Reinemann zingt de solopartij in het beklijvende Ständchen, en de tenorsolo’s in Nachthelle, Mondenschein, en Sehnsucht worden gezongen door tenor Kor-Jan Dusseljee, die in de grote Duitse operahuizen actief is als een hooggeachte Mozartzanger. Het programma omvat daarnaast ook enkele van Schuberts prachtige a capellawerken. In de werken voor vocaal ensemble met piano wordt de pianopartij gespeeld door niemand minder dan Ronald Brautigam, die een grote internationale carrière heeft gemaakt als individueel pianist en solist met toonaangevende internationale orkesten.

Utrecht Vocal Soloists is een ensemble met negen voormalige leerlingen van Reinemann. Ze profiteren niet alleen van Reinemanns geweldige pedagogische gaven en zijn eigen ervaring als wereldberoemde internationale concertzanger, maar ook van zijn avontuurlijke muzikale geest met betrekking tot het uitvoeren van repertoire voor verschillende vocale ensembles.

Composer(s)

Franz Schubert

Franz Peter Schubert was an Austrian composer. Schubert already died before his 32nd birthday, but was extremely prolific during his lifetime. His output consists of over six hundred secular vocal works (mainly Lieder), seven complete symphonies, sacred music, operas, incidental music and a large body of chamber and piano music. Appreciation of his music while he was alive was limited to a relatively small circle of admirers in Vienna, but interest in his work increased significantly in the decades following his death. Felix Mendelssohn, Robert Schumann, Franz Liszt, Johannes Brahms and other 19th-century composers discovered and championed his works. Today, Schubert is ranked among the greatest composers of the late Classical and early Romantic eras and is one of the...

Today, Schubert is ranked among the greatest composers of the late Classical and early Romantic eras and is one of the most frequently performed composers of the early nineteenth century.
It was in the genre of the Lied that Schubert made his most indelible mark. Prior to Schubert's influence, Lieder tended toward a strophic, syllabic treatment of text, evoking the folksong qualities engendered by the stirrings of Romantic nationalism. Schubert expanded the potentialities of the genre like no other composer before.
