Wolfgang Schneider

Mozart’s Motet Exsultate, Jubilate was originally written in Milan in 1773 for the castrato Venanzio Rauzzini but is now frequently used as a showpiece work for the soprano voice. The motet is considered to be an excellent example of sacred music that is Baroque in structure and mood. Ruth Ziesak’s melting soprano voice sounds impressive throughout this exultant music especially in the brilliant concluding section which is spun elaborately around the single word Alleluia.

Concerts with Maria Schneider are something special. They are stylistically not only out of the ordinary, they also manage to bring large orchestras to perform artistically at high voltage, with an energy and at a creative level which is otherwise known only in much smaller ensembles. It is not the music alone that drives the participants, but rather the serene seriousness of a band leader who demands a maximum of intensity from her compositions and passes this premise on to their interpretation. It is impossible to conceive of compositions for jazz orchestras more stringently. The instrumentalists know this too, and therefore feel called upon not only to reproduce the charts accurately but to work out all the contained hints, implications, and visions of sound down to the deepest levels. This original recording was made in May 2000 when Schneider appeared alongside the SWR Big Band. And for the SWR Big Band, those days in May 2000 are some of the highlights of their orchestral history.

"…Zusammen mit den vorzüglichen Wiener Streichern gelang eine tonlich ungemein schöne und ebenmäßige Interpretation, die allerdings dramatischen Tiefgang vermissen läßt. Die ganz anders geartete musikalische Grundstimmung des Hornquintetts wird adäquat umgesetzt: Draufgängerische Musizierlaune in den schnellen Ecksätzen und herrliche Kantilenen im zweiten Satz gelingen dem technisch sowie auch musikalisch souveränen Schweizer Hornisten Bruno Schneider, die Mitglieder des Wiener Streichsextetts verstehen es auch hier, den entsprechenden kammermusikalischen Ton zu treffen…" ~AUDIO
