Selected CD

Carmina fati (2004)

"Songs of fate" is the title of this CD which was released in 2004. On this CD we encompass a very large span of time. Settings of the Ordinarium Missae from the beginnings of polyphonic music (Guillaume de Machaut) to the outstanding composers of the Renaissance era Orlando di Lasso and Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina are contrasted with romantic and contemporary compositions. Some of those pieces are written especially for Calmus. They are based on poems by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Dietrich Bonhoeffer a.o. whose contents gave the CD its title. Nach der CD "farb töne" wurde "Carmina fati" 2005 ebenfalls mit zwei der begehrten CARA-Awards als "best classical album" und "best classical song" (Olav Krögers "Madrigal II") ausgezeichnet.

Calmus:
Anja Lipfert, soprano
Sebastian Krause, countertenor
David Erler, countertenor
Martin Lattke, tenor
Ludwig Böhme, baritone
Ulrich Barthel, bass
