Hugo Distler's 'La danse des morts' is a masterpiece of 20th-century classical music, characterised by its distinctive polyphonic and melismatic style. Composed in 1934, this work is a testament to Distler's innovative approach to choral music, which was unfortunately stigmatised by the Nazi regime as 'degenerate art'.
This album, released in 1960, features a stunning rendition of 'La danse des morts', a 14-movement work that explores the themes of mortality and the transience of life. The piece is a dialogue between Death and various figures, including the Emperor, Bishop, Noble, and others, each of whom is forced to confront their own mortality.
Through his music, Distler invites the listener to reflect on the fleeting nature of human existence and the inevitability of death. The work is a powerful exploration of the human condition, and its themes remain just as relevant today as they were when it was first composed.
With its complex harmonies and intricate choral arrangements, 'La danse des morts' is a challenging yet rewarding work that showcases Distler's unique compositional style. This album is a must-listen for fans of classical music and those interested in exploring the works of this underrated composer. Featuring 27 tracks, including the entirety of 'La danse des morts', this release is a valuable addition to any classical music collection.
Hugo Distler, born in Nuremberg in 1908, was a prolific German composer, organist, and choral conductor whose life was tragically cut short at the age of 34. Despite his brief career, Distler left an indelible mark on the world of sacred choral music, known for his innovative harmonic language and neo-Baroque style. His compositions, such as the Mörike-Chorliederbuch and the Choralpassion, are celebrated for their polyphonic richness and emotional depth. Distler's journey took him from his early musical training in Nuremberg to the Leipzig Conservatoire, where he honed his skills in organ and composition. He later taught at prestigious institutions in Spandau and Stuttgart, inspiring a new generation of musicians. However, his life was marred by conflict with the Nazi regime, ultimately leading to his suicide in 1942. Distler's music continues to resonate with its haunting beauty and individuality, offering a profound spiritual experience for all who encounter it.
