Maria Cristina Kiehr, Concerto Soave, JeanMarc Aymes - Canta La Maddalena

Review by Davorin Pavlica

Maria Cristina Kiehr's album Canta La Maddalena is a beautiful and haunting collection of sacred music from the 16th century. With the accompaniment of Concerto Soave and the direction of JeanMarc Aymes, Kiehr's voice soars through each track, delivering the emotion and drama of the music with precision and grace.

The album features a mix of well-known and lesser-known compositions, all united by their focus on the figure of Mary Magdalene. Kiehr's interpretations of these pieces are powerful and moving, conveying the depth of feeling and spiritual significance that they hold.

One standout track is "O Maria, quae fons amoris," a hymn to Mary Magdalene that showcases Kiehr's vocal range and control. Another highlight is "O mors inevitabilis," a mournful and reflective piece that Kiehr imbues with a sense of solemnity and reverence.

Throughout the album, Kiehr is supported by the talented musicians of Concerto Soave, who provide a rich and nuanced accompaniment that enhances the impact of the music. JeanMarc Aymes' direction is also masterful, bringing out the best in both Kiehr and the ensemble.
