Ndr Choir & Philipp Ahman - Mondnacht - Werke Für Chor a Capella

In July 2018, the NDR Choir and Philipp Ahmann gave a highly acclaimed concert at the Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival as part of the SHMF Chornacht, which focused on the choral works of Robert Schumann. The CD "MONDNACHT", carefully produced during this time, is now being released as the fifth CD of the NDR Choir on ES-DU.

If one considers Robert Schumann's works for choir, the year 1849 turns out to be an extraordinarily productive one. He himself wrote to his publisher in the spring of 1849: "With true passion I have begun to write a collection of ballads for choir; something which, I believe, does not yet exist. It seems to me that this way of treating the balladic character results in an almost more effective pronunciation than individual vocal parts" The background to this was his activity as a conductor during Schumann's time in Dresden: he had first taken over Ferdinand Hiller's Liedertafel at the site and had also founded a "Chorgesangsverein" himself, which he not only directed, but for which he also composed perseveringly. This is how the majority of Robert Schumann's works recorded on the CD were created this year. A year earlier Clara Schumann had already composed her "Three Mixed Choirs" based on texts by the Lübeck poet Emanuel Geibel. Eichendorff's poem "Mondnacht" from 1835, to which the present recording owes its title, is probably the most famous poem of German Romanticism. The CD features the solo song, originally accompanied by piano, from Schumann's Liederkreis op. 39 in Clytus Gottwald's version for mixed choir a cappella. The combination of Schumann songs with those of his contemporary and Carl Orff pupil Wilhelm Killmayer is only at first glance a bit of an adjustment. In fact, his eight songs for four-part male choir - they were written between 1995 and 1997 for the Renner Ensemble Regensburg, commissioned by the "Kissinger Sommer" - which are summarised under the framework quotation "...as in Welschland laude and blue...", build a bridge back to German Romanticism, thanks to their choice of text alone: Killmayer sets poems by Eichendorff exclusively to music. Not only this: Musically, too, Killmayer's affinity to Schumann's choridiom is likely to strike even the most superficial listener.
