Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
In 1994, explains the booklet which accompanies Morimur, Professor Helga Thoene made the surprising discovery that the monumental Ciaccona from Bach's Partita in D minor for solo violin was built around various chorale themes hidden in the music. From the texts of these "secret" chorales and other symbolic musical devices, she deduced that the Ciaccona was an epitaph for Bach's wife, Maria Barbara. The revelation might have remained an intriguing (and touching) footnote to Bach scholarship if baroque violinist Christoph Poppen hadn't had the bright idea of taking Professor Thoene's discovery off the library shelves and placing it triumphantly in the concert hall. On this disc his performance of all five movements of the whole Partita (BWV 1004) is interspersed with the various chorales hidden inside the Ciaccona, sung with breathtaking precision by the Hilliard Ensemble. The double whammy comes at the end when the Ciaccona is performed again, this time with the singers bringing out the "secret" melodies. Poppen's playing is excellent, both sweet-toned and vibrant while the Hilliards have never sounded better: the combination of the two is spine-tingling. It is as if Maria Barbara's proper epitaph has finally been realised, and a moving and wonderfully stimulating recording created in the process. --Warwick Thompson

5.0 out of 5 stars ECM Produce Again, 15 Nov 2001
By A Customer
This is quiet outstandingly beautiful music that is the hallmark of the ECM New Series. Having been introduced to this whilst searching for a string quartet rendition of the Art of Fugue, I began to take an interest in their library.... Music such as this is indicative of the Baroque passion for layering different forms and types of music across each other, but the novelty here is the sheer originality of discovering such and the boldness of the performance.

The final rendition is a revalation of which I never fail to tire. For anyone interested in this period and form of interpretation of music, this is essential to any collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Classic Purity, 20 Sep 2001
By darren.heather@lsc.gov.uk (Brighton, England) - See all my reviews
I am not a classical music fan.......and I'm also an agnostic!!! .....so it may perhaps surprise many people that I am writing a positive review of this classical, religion inspired music. I "came to" The Hilliard Ensemble about 6 years ago after their collaboration with Jan Garbarek on Officium and was instantly struck by the sheer purity of their music. Indeed I found to my surprise that I was more interested in the polyphony than the saxophone improvisation. This was further enhanced by attending a concert at St Bartholomew's Church in Brighton, East Sussex, where The Hilliard Ensemble and Jan Garbarek performed much of the Mnemosyne album.

This music has the typical quality hallmarks of virtually all ECM products. I cannot think of another label who could claim to produce the quality of recording that Manfred Eicher achieves. The blend of the ensembles voice and the baroque violin of Christoph Poppen, is a fine balance which, dare I say, even surpasses the blend with Jan's Saxes. This recording has given me a desire to find out more about music of this era and to enhance my knowledge......which must be lacking as although the liner notes were helpful, they were way "over my head" at one point.

4.0 out of 5 stars Flawed diamond, 7 Jul 2006
By Marek (London UK) - See all my reviews
Bach's music has something of a purity and at first the concept of adding a couterpoint caused me a few doubts but listening to the Chaconne almost dispelled them- it is a breathtakingly beautiful performance, shame about Poppen's amateurish violin playing which slightly spoils the piece against Hilliard's angelic singing. They should have got Hilary Hahn to do it.

Another minor gripe is the changes to the Jesu meine Freude. That simply spoilt it.

But in summary a unique and beautiful if crassly flawed album. If you like Bach and want something a little different- get this: it is still a gem.
