Album Description

Therese Schroeder-Sheker casts an almost mystical spell with the power of insight and understatement as she brings rich tapestries of medieval music to life. As one fascinated listener confessed, "The strongest impression I had was one of whispers that almost seemed to shout into my consciousness." Rosa Mystica showcases Schroeder-Sheker's uniquely expressive gift for subtlety, as well as her acuity, lyricism, and potent musical virtuosity. The poignant purity of her soprano voice, and the warmth of her harp accompaniments imbue the ancient Irish, Rumanian, Israeli, and Sephardic melodies with a beauty and clarity that transcends time. At the hands of this accomplished artist, these songs of love, passion, devotion, spiritual awakening, and the pain of rejection become as relevant to modern listeners as they were hundreds of years ago. Similarly, her original composition, For the Roses, draws inspiration from the past to shed light on how 20th century women mourn the loss of love and begin to heal in time.

5 out of 5 stars Angelic.......2007-03-24

Therese's voice has a rare purity and healing quality and this cd always lifts my mood. It is certainly worth owning.

5 out of 5 stars On the wings of angels.......2006-04-07

This CD was recommended to me two years ago when my father was living out the last few months of his life due to a stroke. We played this CD on "repeat" 24/7. The staff, other residents and visitors would come into his room at the nursing home and just sit...thanking him for having this music as it so soothed their souls. It helped us both continually reach and choose love, choose release and choose God.

Theresa's beautifully haunting harp-playing and singing is what we'd like to think Heaven - or wherever our souls go -- sounds like. I continue to listen to it (like now) when I need a quick path to connect to my own spirit, love and trust or when I simply need to relax and be.

5 out of 5 stars A mystic musician who lives her spirituality.......2004-04-26

Listening to any of Therese's works invites us to leave the busy world for a moment, not to escape, but to focus on the greater truths of peace, hope and charitable service to others. All of her recordings are true spiritual medicine, and are in such need in today's world.

I've been a fan of Ms. Sheker since the mid 1980's, and she has followed me on many of life's journeys. This music is greatly needed. Bless you, Therese!

5 out of 5 stars Sublime.......1999-12-22

Meditation in song. One of the must beautiful recordings I have ever heard. This woman's voice can take you to the most luminous places of your heart. A work of love, undoubtedly, and it shows.

5 out of 5 stars the most beautiful cd i have ever heard.......1999-04-14

this is the kind of soulful spiritual music that uplifts the heart and feeds the very essence of being.simply superb in every way.

5 out of 5 stars A great introduction to a truly great composer.......2000-09-10

It is my opinion that Jean Langlais has written some of the noblest, richest and most awe-inspiring sacred music there has ever been. He wrote more organ music than J. S. Bach, and most of it is as suitable for liturgical performance as sung music. His style is a powerful mixture of chant-like motifs (including actual quotations from Gregorian chant), organum, and bold dissonances that give way to pure, radiant tonality. He draws on a wide range of expressions too, from radiant and blazing to quiet and ecstatic. He was truly a craftsman of the highest calibre, and a credit to the distinguished musical heritage of his native France.

Whilst this disc is sadly only 50 minutes long, it is probably the best introduction to Langlais that one could wish for. It presents some of his best-known choral and organ music in a deeply satisfying sequence. The "Missa Salve Regina," based on three strands of the plainchant melody of the same name, is scored for divided male chorus, an ancillary unison chorus (provided by the Cathedral Choristers), organ and brass octet. It is a breathtaking and glorious opening to the programme: the brass players of the English Chamber Orchestra give it their all in the fantastic Westminster acoustics, although they have a tendency to drown out the tenors and basses in the loudest passages. In the middle of this Mass, where a setting of the "Credo" might usually be found, the producers insert a short solo piece, "Rosa Mystica," which is founded on material from the "Mass" but with the harsher dissonances of the composer's later years in evidence. It is very effective.

This is followed by "La Nativite." Not to be confused with Messiaen's "Nativite de Seigneur," this is a short but beautiful organ work that is mostly quiet and provides a welcome break from the heavy combination of brass and organ. Andrew Lumsden plays it with sensitivity and understanding.

The second choral work on the disc is the "Messe Solonnelle" for SATB choir and organ. Langlais was a choir trainer for many years, and there are some quite demanding displays of vocal dexterity in this Mass, which are expertly overcome. Even more demanding however is the organ part- it certainly shows that Langlais was a master when it came to improvisation and indeed there are passages in this work (for instance the "Sanctus") that are notoriously tricky. James O'Donnell rises to the challenge superbly, achieving a fine blend of dignified loudness and ecstatic softness. He concludes the programme with the "Hymne des actions de Graces," one of the "Three Gregorian Paraphrases" in which Langlais was at his best both as composer and organist.

The Westminster Cathedral Choir had good and bad episodes on disc under the direction of David Hill. This is definitely one of the good ones. His controlled tempi and obvious understanding of the music makes for a spellbinding performance from the singers, and their famous forthright tone suits it perfectly. James O'Donnell (who was to succeed him as Master of Music) is a model accompanist throughout the disc; I simply must highlight his performance in the "Messe Solonnelle."

I haven't enjoyed a CD as much as this one in a long time. If you only ever buy one recording of Langlais' music, it should be this one. A crucial piece of advice, however: do not turn the volume high or you are guaranteed ringing ears for hours on end, particularly in the fierce moments with the brass!

5 out of 5 stars A stunning performance of Avo Part's Magnificat.......1999-08-04

The Havestehude Chamber Choir, under the direction of Claus Bantzer, perform Avo Part's "Magnificat" with exquisite dynamic control, and flawless intonation. This is a CD not to be missed. The focused sustained dissonances in the "Magnificat" will make you shiver with estacy. Part's music is not for the average amateur chorus, but with the considerable vocal resources that the Harvestehude Chamber Choir brings to bear the performance is stellar. The other works on the CD are also noteworthy, and exquisitely performed. This CD is a bargain at twice the asked-for price.

        5 out of 5 stars Two masterful song cycles from Rolfe-Johnson.......2006-02-16

        After the retirement of Peter Pears, the title of best tenor in Britain was tossed between Phillip Langridge and Anthony Rolfe-Johnson, both of whom turned into great singers of Britten's music. Two masterful song cycles written for Pears, the Nocturne and Les Illuminations, are beautifully sung here by Rolfe-Johnson in prime voice. Leaving aside the alluring sweetness of his tone, his diction far outstrips Pears's, which is very important given how careful Britten was about selecting poetry to set.

        The Nocturne performance rises to first choice (Pears's stereo version finds him in clotted voice, the poetry all but unintelligible) and has excellent conducting by Richard Hickox. Jane Glover is more routine leading Les Illuminations, but Rolfe-Johnson carries the peice by his haunted, note-perfect singing. All it lacks is the erotic sinuousness that even in old age Pears could impart.

        This CD contains exquisite renderings of some relatively obscure Christmas and Advent music. Bethlehem Down and Three Kings are my favorites; the album notes provide fascinating information to go with the performances. Those familiar with Emily Poston's Jesus Christ the Apple Tree from the Cambridge Singers (Hail, Gladdening Light) will find this version less ethereal, but just as compelling. All in all, a super CD of excellent music for the season.
