149 jurors from 32 specialist juries have chosen 275 productions (CDs, DVDs and audio books) from new releases of the last quarter and nominated them for the Quarterly Critics' Choice ("Bestenliste") 3/2016 of the German Record Critics' Award (PdSK), which will be issued on August 11th. R. Schumann: Complete Symphonic Works, Vol. VI was nominated in the category orchestral music,
Among these are also three audite productions:
Sergei Prokofiev: Works for Violin & Piano was chosen in the category chamber music and in the category historical recording Paul Kletzki conducts Brahms, Schubert & Beethoven.
The video gives impressions of the latest audite-recording session in the Abbey Muri with its four galleries: The monumental Mass of Georg Muffat and church sonatas by his contemporaries fit perfectly into this octagonal space. Four ensemble groups are placed on the galleries, the fifth group in the middle of the church on the ground floor. Thus the recording creates a vivid, spacial and authentic impression of the imposing sacred music heard at leading Catholic courts during the High Baroque. The Abbey Church of Muri with its four galleries and its historical Bossart organs proves to be a performance venue with perfect acoustics for these polychoral works.
Following the successful release of the Grieg Violin Sonatas, Franziska Pietsch and her piano partner Detlev Eisinger now present music by Sergei Prokofiev on the audite label. Watch impressions of the recording session for the new CD already as a preview in the video! The production will be released in May 2016.
