Author:
This is a fine collection of Schutz’s psalm settings, but best not listened to at one sitting, since the variety which characterizes the pieces is of a very great subtlety. This, indeed, is one of the principal problems in planning a Schutz anthology of this kind.
The Oxford Camerata rise well to the challenge, though they can seem somewhat undemonstrative at times. In An den Wassern zu Babel, for example, this could be solved by better enunciation of the words. It is only when the piece becomes more lively (as at “Lieber singer uns ein Lied von Zion!”) that the text gains in clarity. This proves, in fact, to be the case throughout the disc: the livelier pieces, such asAch Herr, straf mich nicht and Singet dem Herrn are by far the most successful. The point seems somehow to be missed in Lobe den Herren, which requires very careful treatment to make it work ‘architecturally’, but the same could be said of the Deutsches Magnificat (Meine Seele erhebt den Herren), and that receives a splendid performance.
There are also some outstanding solo contributions: Carys-Anne Lane and Rebecca Outram give a shining performance ofErhore mich, wenn ich rufe, and Michael McCarthy’s rich, expressive bass is just right for Ich liege und schlafe. A mixed collection, then, but worth investing in, especially if you are already an admirer of Schutz.'
