El Instante Desvanecido (“The Vanished Instant”) is the soundtrack to the documentary film De Occulta Philosophia. This project arose from the encounter between musician Andrés Alberto Gómez, and filmmaker Daniel V. Villamediana. The two had already collaborated on Villamediana’s La vida sublime, where La Reverencia contributed to the soundtrack. Subsequently, Andrés suggested the idea of doing something in relation to Baroque music.

Stradivarius Stefano Innocenti: harpsichord J.S. BACH: Toccata, BWV 910 • Toccata, BWV 915 • Toccata, BWV 916 • Toccata, BWV 911 • Toccata, BWV 914 • Toccata, BWV 913 • Toccata, BWV 912 In 1708, a 23-year-old Johann Sebastian Bach moved to Weimar in order to occupy the position of organist at the court of Duke Wilhelm Ernst. When he arrived, Bach had probably already embarked on the composition of some of his seven Toccatas BWV 910–916. Unlike other great collections for keyboard instruments, such as the Suites, the Partitas, and the WellTempered Clavier, the toccatas were never organized by Bach into a unitary cycle. This fact, which undoubtedly makes it more complicated to investigate the process of their composition, should not induce us to overlook the governing principle that unites them: the Toccatas are stylistic laboratories through which Bach perfected and consolidated his musical language, making the most of the expressive potential of keyboard instruments.

Roberto Fabbriciani: flutes Massimiliano Damerini: piano DE PABLO: Soliloquio • Melisma Furioso • Per Flauto • Cuatro Fragmentos de “Kiu” Luis de Pablo’s fondness for the flute, well documented by the works contained on this CD, stems back to his childhood years. He first encountered the instrument quite by chance, when his aunt gave him a flute she had bought in an antiques shop. It was a 19th-century flute and Luis, who was about 10 years old, started to play it almost like a game, mostly out of curiosity and fascination. His interest soon turned into a passion for music, and he began to study the flute at the Conservatory in Madrid.

Listening to the multifaceted music of László Sáry, one is hard-pressed not to conclude that these sounds could have only been dreamed up by a composer in whose soul there remained some measure of childlike omniscience. Rather than focusing on the playfulness of the eternal child, this CD highlights another aspect of childhood: openness to sacred things. The piece “Hyperion’s Song of Destiny” (Hommage à Hölderlin) is one of his works that comes closest to sacredness.

Béla Bartók died 70 years ago, in 1945 in New York. Only he could know what he had not yet written; all we have to work with is what he left behind. The Saint Ephraim Male Choir began to work with Bartók’s music in 2007. Over the years it became increasingly clear that all six of his works for male choir contain music of unparalleled beauty, yet in terms of vocal chamber music, are highly taxing for the performers — obviously this is the main reason they are performed so rarely!

Apollo’s Fire Jeanette Sorrell: director PRAETORIUS: Selections from Polyhymnia caduceatrix, Musica Sionae and Puericinium , and Terpsichore “Music for the people” could have been the motto for 17th-century German composer Michael Praetorius. He adhered to the ideals of Protestant pioneer Martin Luther — of whom his father was a disciple — that music, like religion, should be open and free to all.

Praetorius was an extraordinarily versatile composer and, along with J. S. Bach, was one of the greatest composers of Protestant church music in Germany. With his music he strived to bring together people of all walks of life, an aim mirrored in the present day’s USA Network program “It Takes a Choir.” Like the Vespers settings in the 17th century — most notably the Vespers of 1610 by Monteverdi, who inspired Praetorius — this Christmas Vespers is an assemblage of works by Praetorius that Apollo’s Fire’s founder/director Jeanette Sorrell has compiled. It highlights his virtuosic vocal and instrumental writing, and includes as interludes his popular carol settings “O Morning Star” and “Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming.”

Music is a crucial part of this annual festival. There is no shortage of Christmas carol repertoire recorded by Christ Church Cathedral Choir on the Nimbus label, but in this selection we have decided to bring together music that reflects some different aspects of the season. This is music to lift the spirits and transport the listener into a world of mystery.
