Alois Glassner, Bachchor Salzburger & Wolfgang Kogert - Rejoice! (2018) [Hi-Res]

The Bach Choir Salzburg gained its international reputation under their long-time conductor Alois Glassner through continuous work with the ensemble sound as well as the great repertoire width, ranging from renaissance works to oratorios, a capella repertoire to opera performances. With the album ""Rejoice"", featuring Wolfgang Kogert, organ, the Bach Choir presents selected works for choir and organ, last but not least the eponymous Rejoice with the lamb Op. 30 by Benjamin Britten. Further works include For Io, I raise up Op. 145 by Charles Stanford, The Beatitudes by Arvo Part, Beatus vir by James MacMillan, Herbert Howells' Magnificat and Nunc dimittis, O sacrum convivium by Olivier Messiaen and the Psalm 135 by Charles Ives. The great stylistic diversity of one of the leading Austrian vocal ensembles comes into its own with this new release.
