About
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.’
