Info zu Attende Domine: Music for Lent & Passiontide

Das Bevan Family Consort kehrt mit einer Auswahl von Chorwerken zur Fastenzeit und Passionszeit zurück, darunter eine Weltersteinspielung der sechsstimmigen Lamentations von Alfonso Ferrabosco dem Älteren. Das Programm folgt der Liturgie vom Beginn der Fastenzeit am Aschermittwoch bis zur Dunkelheit des Karsamstags. Für jeden Tag von Tenebrae haben sie eine Vertonung einer Klageschrift aufgenommen. „Die Aufnahme eines Albums mit der Familie ist immer bewegend, aber dieses Album war wegen des Themas der Musik besonders bewegend... Wie die vorherigen Alben enthält auch dieses altbewährte Familienlieblinge neben neu entdeckten oder nicht aufgenommenen Raritäten, dank unseres hauseigenen Redakteurs und Erzpolyphonie-Enthusiasten Francis... Wir hoffen, dass Ihnen unsere Auswahl gefällt und dass sie eine betende Begleitung für die Fastenzeit sein kann.“ (Michael Bevan)
