This recording presents three different, utterly contrasting responses to the quest for expression and the solution to the old problem of how to merge text and music into a unity. The common theme linking these compositions, "The Passion and Pains of Love", has been wrested from the texts of these choral works: they are poetic declarations of love, descriptions of nature with erotic and intimate imagery, poems that speak of unfulfilled yearning and breaking hearts. Their poetic quality opens a range of expression every bit as varied as the three musical settings they stimulated.
SWR VOKALENSEMBLE STUTTGART - Founded in 1946, the history of the SWR Vokalensemble Stuttgart has been shaped by its Chief Conductors Hermann-Joseph Dahmen, Marinus Voorberg, Klaus Martin Ziegler and Rupert Huber. Along with its challenging a-cappella repertoire, the Ensemble has for more than fifteen years devoted itself enthusiastically to contemporary music. Composers and organizers hold the chorus in highest esteem owing to its great musicality, its professionalism and experience in handling the difficulties of contemporary scores, as well as its constructive,open-minded attitude toward the vistas of the present day and age. Critics hail the beauty of the sound, the perfection and vitality of the group's concerts. Since 2003, Marcus Creed has been the Artistic Director of the SWR Vokalensemble Stuttgart.
