The Monteverdi Choir Würzburg is made up of over 100 talented students and alumni of the University of Würzburg and the University of Music Würzburg. Since 1998, this successful and renowned choir has been directed by Matthias Beckert, conductor and professor in choral conducting at the University of Music Würzburg.
The Monteverdi Choir Würzburg has developed a wide concert repertoire, including major oratorio works from the Renaissance up until the present day. The choir's performance and versatility is proven through its participation in numerous Würzburg premieres and reputable concerts with period instruments.
Psalm 130. De profundis. OUT of the deep have I called unto thee, O LORD; * Lord, hear my voice. 2 O let thine ears consider well * the voice of my complaint. 3 If thou, LORD, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss, * O Lord, who may abide it? 4 For there is mercy with thee; * therefore shalt thou be feared. 5 I look for the LORD; my soul doth wait for him; * in his word is my trust. 6 My soul fleeth unto the Lord before the morning watch; * I say, before the morning watch. 7 O Israel, trust in the LORD; for with the LORD there is mercy, * and with him is plenteous redemption. 8 And he shall redeem Israel * from all his sins.
Wenn es mir bzw. der ganzen Welt (!) schlecht geht, finde ich diese Strophen (mit der Musik, versteht sich) besonders begeisternd. Herzlichen Dank LVB ! 🎶👍

…crazily beautiful…I love the note sustaining scheme technique developed by Nystedt in this piece-how it layers the notes to create close voicings like major 2nds…brilliant…Immortal Bach…
Er kannte die Töne und Instrumente ja noch aus der Zeit, wo er noch Hörte. Denn niemand, der von Geburt an, Taub ist, kann eine der Schönsten Melodien komponieren und dazu noch alle Instrumente genau zuordnen. Er weiß nicht, wie sich Töne anhören! Nur, anhand von Stimmgabeln könnte er es evtl. Fühlen, was aber auch nicht so wirklich dass wahre ist bzw. sein kann. Also kann er nicht von Geburt an Taub gewesen sein!!!
The best Stabat Mater of all time has to be Poulenc's Stabat Mater. It perfectly encapsulates what it must have been like from Good Friday to Easter Sunday, for Mary to lose her son, the literal son of God, the King of kings. I always come back to this around Easter. As much as it touches me to listen, it is markedly life changing to sing this in a choir amongst a skilled group of musicians. I remember getting misty and crying while looking around in awe at how beautiful this piece is as others around me continued singing the notes from their binder. We practiced these notes like math for months and it grabbed my heart in an emotional way.
Ich bin froh und srhr dankbar das ich einen der besten Musiklehrer meiner Zeit hatte! Da hat man dolche finge auch mit 24 Jahren durchgenommen. Definitiv besser als die ewigen Zeiten der oriege zu lernen. Was mich damals schon nicht interessiert hat. ... Ein hoch auf all die Meister die die Weltgeschichte weiter gebracht hat in positiver Weise 🎉.
Un espectáculo para el alma y los oídos, armonías que se confunden entre instrumentos y voces de gran nivel. El oratorio que más me gusta por estas fechas de recogimiento religioso.
Sang this on May 19th 1979 in the Wulfrun Hall, Wolverhampton. There were hundreds of singers, quadrophonic brass bands and 16 kettle drums. I was so moved that I couldn’t sing a note.
Nice, but I need to hear way more intermittent Pianissimo, almost whispered, and less constancy, and instead more ad libitum interpreted free rhythm, so as to SCHMALTZ it up.
And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: for, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation. He hath shewed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away. He hath holpen his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy; as he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever. Lucas 1:46-55
