Få en historisk oplevelse med Copenhagen Soloists i Symfonisk sal

IN ENGLISH BELOW

Copenhagen Soloists er et ensemble, som specialiserer sig i at spille på historiske instrumenter. Ensemblet har optrådt i 15 år - ofte som vokal- og instrumentalensemble. Om ensemblets opførelse af Mozarts Requiem i en fyldt Symfonisk sal i 2019 skrev Rachel Einarsson i Jyllands-Posten:

”Fem stjerner til dødsmessen og et kærkomment indslag i det musikalske udbud”.

Beethovens Missa Solemnis er et af de største kirkelige vokalværker nogensinde. Det er et værk som kræver store kræfter hele vejen rundt, et værk som synes at spænde over tid og rum ved at inddrage kompositionsteknikker fra barok og renæssance samt præsentere tidsrelevant politisk symbolik om krig og fred. Det er et sent Beethoven værk, som blev komponeret nogenlunde samtidig med den 9. symfoni og en tid, hvor Beethoven syntes at ville omfavne verden på trods af dens fejlbarlighed og strabadser. Værket er så udfordrende for både kor, solister og orkester, at det bliver opført forholdsvis sjældent. Copenhagen Soloists påtager sig denne kolossale opgave med et kor af solister på blot 20 sangere, som traditionen tro deles om kor og soli.

Experience historical music with Copenhagen Soloists in Symfonisk sal

Copenhagen Soloists is an ensemble specialising in historical performance on period instruments. The ensemble has been performing for 15 years - often as a vocal-instrumental ensemble. On the ensemble’s performance of Mozart’s Requiem to a full Symphonic Hall in 2019 wrote Rachel Einarsson i Jyllands-Posten:

”Five stars to the death mass and a welcome entry in the musical offering”.

Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis is one of the greatest ecclesiastical vocal works of all times. It is a work that demands strong forces all-around, a work which seems to span over time and space, incorporating compositional techniques from both baroque and renaissance, as well as present political currency through symbolism of war and peace. It is a late Beethoven work which was composed around the time of the 9th symphony, a time in which Beethoven was as if seeking to embrace the world despite its faults and troubles. The work is so challenging for both choir, soloists as well as orchestra, that it is relatively rarely performed. Copenhagen Soloists undertake this colossal task with a choir of just 20 soloist singers, who share the choir and solo parts, as is the ensemble’s tradition. The orchestra plays as usual on period instruments.
