NotesJust in time for the 100th anniversary of his death, Gustav Schreck (1849-1918) is finally given the attention he deserves. Schreck was the only of Bach's twentieth-century successors as cantor at St Thomas's Church, Leipzig, to be active as a composer. The present album presents the world premiere recording of Schreck's oratorio 'The Risen Christ', which has not been performed in Germany since 1892. Buried in the archives for a century, the work is once more restored to life by the Philharmonisches Orchester des Staatstheaters Cottbus under the direction of Fabian Enders at it's original home - the church of St Thomas in Leipzig. The oratorio effectively combines the colourful riches of a late Romantic orchestration with choral splendour like few other works of the sacred repertoire. It's stunning beauty and addictive sound offer a thrilling sonic experience of great drama: Schreck's masterpiece was unjustly forgotten and is certainly worth being performed once again!
