Michael Krenn - Allegri: Miserere (2014)

In this recording project, the Sine Nomine Choir, one of the most renowned Austrian choral ensembles, under the direction of Johannes Hiemetsberger, has landed on a truly special work: the famous Miserere by Gregorio Allegri is presented in an exclusive arrangement, curated by Vladimir Ivanoff , for saxophone and three choirs a cappella. In the wonderful acoustics of the church of San Leopoldo in Vienna, designed by Otto Wagner, Michael Krenn's sax engages a close dialogue with the choral sections on different sound levels, which are articulated as dialogue, commentary, underlining or opposition to the compositional structure of the Miserere , conceived as an open house in favor of encounters.
