"Freude, schöner Götterfunken!" (Joy, fair sparks of the gods) seems to be the cry of the
fifth and penultimate GENUIN CD by the Camerata Limburg of the complete recording of
Schubert's works for male choir. The title of the program is "Elysium," which says it all. The
CD is a pleasurable stroll through heavenly realms: known and unknown, from poems by
Schiller, Klopstock and many, many other wonderful poets. The interpretation is on par with
the entire collection: an immaculate ensemble sound and an interpretation wonderfully
worked out by conductor Jan Schumacher and his masters. The only drawback? The next
CD in autumn will be the
last of this series.
