Et#x00bb;Dass Kagel sich oft und produktiv mit den Leuchttürmen der Musikgeschichte auseinandergesetzt hat, weiß man spätestens seit seiner etwas anderen, abendfüllenden Bach-Biografie Sankt-Bach-Passion von 1985. Doch schon fast ein Jahrzehnt früher übersetzte er 53 Texte von Bach-Chorälen in seine urtypisch skurrile bis beklemmende Klangsprache. Bei der Einspielung von 16 ausgewählten Chorbuch-Gesängen mit dem Nederlands Kamerkoor kommt Kagels Lust an der humorvollen Zersetzung / Neubelichtung etwas überdreht daher. Als authentisch darf man die Aufnahme von 2007 aber schon deswegen bezeichnen, da Kagel nicht nur dirigierte, sondern greisenhaft und doch insgeheim grinsend das Chorbuch-Stück Nr. 10 zum Besten gab. Mit französischem Flair und legerem Charme kommt stattdessen die Kantate Les inventions det#x00b4;Adolphe Sax (2004/05) für Chor et Saxofonquartett daher. Es ist eine Hommage an den Saxofonerfinder, für die Kagel u.a. eine historische, sicherlich mit spannenden Anekdoten gespickte Biografie verarbeitet hat.et#x00ab; (Guido Fischer, RONDO, 19.5.2012). et#x00bb;Wenn es je einen postmodernen Komponisten (im positiven Sinne) gegeben hat, dann Mauricio Kagel. Wie geistreich, fantasievoll und grundmusikalisch sich der gebürtige Argentinier mit der Tradition auseinandersetzte, beweisen einmal mehr zwei aktuelle Veröffentlichungen. Der Aufnahme mit dem Niederländischen Kammerchor kommt dabei der Nimbus eines Vermächtnisses zu. Es ist die letzte Aufnahme, an der Kagel mitwirkte und das nicht nur als Dirigent. Im Chorbuch läßt er es sich nicht nehmen, das zehnte Stück selbst vorzutragen, was dieser surrealen und und todesschwangeren et#x203a;Bearbeitunget#x2039; von Bach-Chorälen kurz vor Kagels Tod eine besondere Abgründigkeit verleiht. Der Niederländische Kammerchor macht aus diesen et#x203a;Übermalungenet#x2039; durchweg suggestives Vokaltheater. A++

The Dresden Staatskapelle has a very special tradition of performing Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. It performed the then still highly controversial work for the first time in August 1838 under the baton of Johann Gottlieb Reissiger. Since 1900, the piece has been performed yearly on Palm Sunday, having been popularized by Richard Wagner in 1843

"This CD box set, released seventy years after World War II ended, contains music composed by those who were persecuted during that same war; any performance of these works was strictly forbidden at the time. Nineteen Dutch composers were deported to concentration camps of which only six survived the atrocities. Others went into hiding or they survived using fake identities. Almost all saw their musical career end inopportunely. The untimely loss of these composers dealt a severe blow to Dutch music history and as a result the musical landscape was completely altered. A new generation of musicians was eager to fill the void and during these years of reconstruction a new type of music evolved rapidly moving towards what was later called modernism. The new aesthetics pushed composers away from writing a charming melody, using harmonious chords, or pleasing and moving the audience. Pre-war music was considered corny, dilettantish, conservative and hopelessly outdated. Instead, atonality, extremism and a conceptual outlook dominated the scene. Therefore, this box set is designed to revalidate the generation of composers that was lost in the war. Over the past twenty years, The Leo Smit Foundation has done research on these maltreated, forgotten composers and their works. Artistic manager Eleonore Pameijer assisted Etcetera in assembling the set from a collection of previously released recordings on a range of other labels. CD no. 10 however, contains a number of surprises and premières on CD"--Notes, page 12
