Andreas Scholl, Czech Ensemble Baroque, Roman Válek
AP340 - 1CD - 48' - Nov 10, 2023
Andreas Scholl returns to his repertoire of choice, introducing us to the splendid works of Frantisek Tůma – a little-known Bohemian composer who was a prominent musical figure in the 18th century. Together with the Czech Baroque Ensemble and their conductor Roman Válek, specialists in this repertoire, the counter-tenor here performs several of his emblematic motets and cantatas.
In this atmosphere of the twilight of the Baroque, Andreas Scholl’s voice attains its fullness, embracing Tůma’s splendid invention and intensity of expression - a marvellous musical encounter that reaches its apex in the splendid arias of the Motettum de tempore, the Motetto per ogni Tempo or in the austere but absolute beauty of the chorus Juravit Dominus.
