Agricola, Alexander

Adieu m'amour
A la mignonne de fortune
Allez, regretz
Ay je rien fet
Cecus non iudicat de coloribus
De tous biens playne
Et qui la dira
Fortuna desperata
Guarde vostre visage
J'ay beau huer
S'il vous plaist
Soit loing ou pres
Sonnes muses melodieusement

About

Covering a vast array of repertoire, this essential collection presents the greatest choral masterpieces in critically acclaimed performances. From the sacred music of the Medieval era, to the refinement of the Renaissance and the Baroque; from Mozart’s Classical perfection, to the Romantic worlds of Schumann, Brahms and Dvořák; and to the exciting new sounds of Penderecki and the inspired beauty of works by Eric Whitacre and Arvo Pärt, and much more besides – The Choral Collection is a fantastic celebration of the art of choral singing.

The new Naxos ‘Collection’ series features 30-disc sets focused to a specific genre in every release. The first was released in June 2019, The Early Music Collection (8503297), consisting of vernacular songs, as well as pieces for lute, viols, organ and more, presented by the leading ensembles and instrumentalists, in historically-informed performances. This second release features some of the top vocal ensembles like the Kantorei and Joel Rinsema, the Simon Mayr Chorus and Franz Hauk, Schola Cantorum of Oxford under Jeremy Summerly, and the Trinity Choir and J. Owen Burdick, among many others.

Every one of these 30 discs received great critical acclaim on their single-disc publication. Taking examples more or less at random, we have Agricola’s Fortuna Desperata (8553840) described as ‘must have’ by Gramophone, and Beethoven’s Der glorreiche Augenblick (8572783) – ‘one of the most exciting and gratifying Beethoven recordings this reviewer has come across in recent years’ according to Classical 91.7 KUHA.

The Elora Singers’ recording of the choral works by Eric Whitacre (8559677) was nominated for a GRAMMY Award, while the release of John Rutter’s Requiem (8557130) was awarded a Penguin Guide ‘Rosette’: ‘the Naxos recording of the Requiem tens to trump all previous versions, even the composer’s own very fine account.’

Delitiæ Musicæ’s recording of Gesualdo’s Complete Madrigals was highly praised. The set includes the Fourth Book (8572137), which was a ‘Recording of the Month’ by MusicWeb International: ‘The singing on this album is simply phenomenal. Intonation is virtually flawless, and they offer just the right mix of homogenous and individual sound. The recording is excellent, the voices crystal clear, with the continuo instruments used selectively, which adds another layer of variety to these performances.’

With acclaim such as this running through the entire collection, this will be a one-stop place for choral masterpieces that few can resist.
