| Description: | Following the successful albums Hymnus and Magnificat with music by Orlando di Lasso the Singphoniker are now concluding their little Lasso cycle with a recording of his complete Penitential Psalms. It was around 1559 that the Bavarian Duke Albrecht V commissioned a manuscript in which the textual, pictorial, and musical dimensions were to be combined. Orlando di Lasso was assigned the task of setting the seven Penitential Psalms, a group of texts regarded as a unit since ancient times, and rounded off this work with praise of God in the form of a motet on Psalms 148 and 150. Lasso set the texts verse by verse, in this way drawing on an old liturgical model for Psalm settings. This method means that relatively short textual units produce a self-contained musical whole with component parts of rather limited extent; the musical form, the structure of the composition of an entire psalm, is developed from the design of the text. Just how very much the composer was thinking of the traditional manner of singing is shown in particular by the sixth Penitential Psalm, in which he bases his setting on the monophonic liturgical singing of psalms in the Lydian mode and uses it as a cantus firmus. It is certainly no coincidence that in the nineteenth century the first significant edition of Lasso's music was dedicated to the Penitential Psalms: Siegfried Wilhelm Dehn (who, by the way, taught Clara Schumann and Mikhail Glinka) published it in 1838. This is finely crafted and highly impressive music - and again and again the Singphoniker amaze us with their sonorous renderings of it."Bußpsalmen I-VII; Laudes Domini" on CD presents an intense and meditative journey into the world of sacred vocal music. Interpreted by the renowned vocal ensemble Die Singphoniker, the recording focuses on penitential psalms and hymns of praise that explore themes of remorse, reflection, consolation, and spiritual hope. In finely balanced male-voice textures, the ensemble shapes a liturgical and contemplative soundscape in which every line of text remains clearly understandable and musically nuanced. The alternation between the dark gravity of the "Bußpsalmen" and the more luminous character of "Laudes Domini" creates a dramatic arc that leads the listener from inward contrition to liberated praise. The carefully crafted dynamics, precise intonation, and subtle use of color and phrasing make this CD attractive both to connoisseurs of sacred music and to listeners who are simply seeking a profound and calming listening experience. The acoustics and transparent recording vividly capture the ensemble's hallmark blend and the spatial depth of the sound.
Die Singphoniker rank among the established professional male vocal ensembles in the German-speaking world and have built a reputation over decades for stylistic versatility and high artistic standards. Their repertoire ranges from early and sacred music to Romantic partsongs and sophisticated arrangements of modern and lighter pieces. In the domain of a cappella and sacred choral music, they are valued for their refined ensemble culture, their sensitive shaping of text, and a characteristic sound that combines clarity and warmth. Numerous concert appearances and diverse recordings have helped cement their standing in the international choral scene. With this CD, they underline their particular strength in spiritually themed programs that demand both musical discipline and emotional depth.
