Tenebrae at Edinburgh Festival: Wednesday 17th August

[doversoul1]

I thought this was an excellent choir concert. As well as the superb performance, I liked the way in which Tenebrae kept early music and later works separate, instead of interspersing the two as if to make sure that we see/hear the ‘link’ between early and modern music or some such.

First part
Lobo: Versa est in luctum
Victoria: Tenebrae Responsories (selection)
Allegri: Miserere
Padilla: Missa 'Ego flos campi'

Second part
Reger: Der Mensch lebt und bestehet Op.138
Brahms: Fest-und Gedenksprüche Op.109
Bruckner: Three Motets - Ave Maria; Virga Jesse floruit; Christus factus est
Brahms: Three Motets, Op.110
Reger: Nachtlied Op.138

Finely sung, good programme.
My only problem with it was the acoustic - no resonance at all, and of course, original composers would have expected there to be one to project into.
Many congrats to an amazingly silent audience.
