Chorfantasie presents a captivating journey through the world of choral and orchestral masterpieces with their album "Choral Fantasia". Released on September 16, 2013, under Warner Classics International, this collection spans a little over an hour and sixteen minutes, offering a rich tapestry of classical compositions that showcase the ensemble's exceptional artistry.
The album opens with Beethoven's Choral Fantasy in C Minor, Op. 80, setting the stage for a diverse exploration of choral works. Schubert's Gesang der Geister über den Wassern, Op. Posth. 167, D. 714 follows, showcasing the ensemble's ability to convey ethereal beauty. Barber's Agnus Dei - Adagio brings a moment of serene reflection, while Elgar's Coronation Ode, Op. 44: Finale. "Land of Hope and Glory" injects a sense of grandeur and celebration.
John Williams' Serenade to Music offers a lyrical interlude, while Berlioz's Hymne des Marseillais, H 51a, adds a dramatic flair. Fauré's Pavane, Op. 50 (Version with Chorus) provides a delicate and elegant contrast. The album reaches its climax with Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture in E-Flat Major, Op. 49, and concludes with an excerpt from Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 in D Minor, Op. 125 "Choral": IV. Presto "O Freunde, nicht diese Töne!".
Chorfantasie's "Choral Fantasia" is a testament to the ensemble's versatility and skill, offering a compelling exploration of some of the most beloved and iconic choral works in the classical repertoire.
