Various - German Operatic Choruses
Review by Steven Baynard
The album German Operatic Choruses by Various is a masterpiece that showcases the best of German operatic music. The album is a compilation of some of the most popular choruses from German operas, performed by renowned choirs and orchestras. The album is a treat for lovers of classical music and opera enthusiasts.
The album begins with the majestic "Pilgrims' Chorus" from Wagner's Tannhäuser, performed by the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. The choir's rich and powerful voices blend beautifully with the orchestra's majestic sound, creating a truly awe-inspiring experience.
Other highlights of the album include the "Prisoners' Chorus" from Beethoven's Fidelio, performed by the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, and the "Soldiers' Chorus" from Gounod's Faust, performed by the Stuttgart Radio Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. Both of these choruses are powerful and moving, and the performances are top-notch.
The album also features some lesser-known but equally beautiful choruses, such as the "Chorus of the Peasants" from Weber's Der Freischütz, performed by the RIAS Chamber Chorus, and the "Chorus of the Spirits" from Gluck's Orfeo ed Euridice, performed by the Bavarian Radio Chorus.
