Info zu Live in Venice

Hiermit liegt eine einzigartige Aufnahme der Tallis Scholars unter der Leitung von Peter Phillips aus der prachtvollen Basilika San Marco in Venedig vor, aufgezeichnet am 14. Juli 2017. Das Programm, das anlässlich des 450. Geburtstags von Monteverdi konzipiert wurde, umfasst Werke von Monteverdi, Palestrina, Lotti, Allegri, Komitas und Pärt. Darunter befinden sich Meisterwerke wie Allegris Miserere und Palestrinas Magnificat, für deren Interpretation die Tallis Scholars im Laufe der Jahre besonders bekannt wurden. Im Programmtext zum Konzert, der im Booklet abgedruckt ist, spricht Peter Phillips von „alten Favoriten und einigen ganz neuen Ideen“. Mit den „neuen Ideen“ sind vor allem die Werke des Priesters, Komponisten und Ethnomusikologen Komitas gemeint. Mit den beiden hier enthaltenen Kompositionen möchten Phillips und das Vokalensemble „dem jahrhundertealten Erbe der armenischen Gemeinschaft in Venedig Tribut zollen“.

Die Musik überbrückt Jahrhunderte, ohne deren Brüche zu glätten, und vereint das Verschiedene in einer Gemeinschaft. San Marco presst sich wie ein Ohr gegen das versiegelte Grab, wo neues Leben als Veränderung in der Akustik des Grabes beginnt und bereits die Abwesenheit in ein Hörorgan verwandelt.

The Tallis Scholars
Over five decades of performance and a catalogue of award-winning recordings for Gimell, Peter Phillips and The Tallis Scholars have done more than any other group to establish sacred vocal music of the Renaissance as one of the great repertoires of Western classical music.

They have sought to bring Renaissance works to a wider audience in churches, cathedrals and venues on every continent on the planet except Antarctica! These include the Royal Albert Hall, the Sistine Chapel, the Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall New York, the Philharmonic Hall Berlin, Saint Mark's Venice, Seoul Arts Centre Korea, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre London, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Wigmore Hall, Beijing Concert Hall, Megaron Athens and the Opera House Sydney.

The Tallis Scholars continue to develop their exclusive sound, praised by reviewers for its supple clarity and tone, and to bring fresh interpretations to music by contemporary as well as past composers, such as Pärt, Tavener, Whitacre, Muhly and Jackson. ​

Peter Phillips​
I got the polyphony bug when an undergraduate at Oxford in 1973. An ideal choral sound got fixed in my head at that time, and I've spent all the years since then trying to recapture it. Hence The Tallis Scholars. I haven't done much else of creative importance - no novels or films (yet) - just a lot of concerts and recordings, and endless travelling. This in turn has piqued an interest in exploring the cuisines of the world, and even some of the languages, though rarely the right ones. A thorough grasp of Latin would have been good; Arabic has proved of limited value as a tool for promoting Christian sacred music. ​

Other daft things I've done include: starting a choral foundation in Oxford's oldest and most beautiful college chapel; writing a column in the London Spectator on music for over 33 years, and on cricket for one; encouraging my fellow citizens to eat horse; learning to fly small aeroplanes; carrying rare foodstuffs (especially horse) around the world in my luggage, and visiting a restaurant near my house so often that I now have my own table there. The best thing I've done is marry Caroline Trevor and help to bring up three children who, to my lasting relief and delight, have grown into very civilised people.

"Speaking of birds, it was also wonderful to glimpse Peter Phillips’s conducting: hands opening as if setting free a dove, or closing to punctuate with dotting-the-i’s exactitude. I found myself wishing I could get a choir’s-eye view to witness Phillips’ complete – lifelong – inhabiting of this music." - The Observer, September 2015
