Andrzej KosendiakAbout
All of Förster’s works are distinguished by clarity of form and melodiousness. The concertato motets presented on the album are exquisite, delightful gems. These are very well composed (especially in terms of vocals), small-sized pieces, in which sometimes sophisticated, but still simple means were used. In them, Förster shows himself as an experienced dramatist, as he skilfully uses the means of musical rhetoric to emphasise the emotions arising from the literary text, which at the same time ensures exceptional narrative continuity.
This is another release from the Music of the First Commonwealth series. The works of Kaspar Förster Jr fit perfectly into this series, as they are an important element of the Polish and European music scene of those times. The composer’s work also shows Europe of that time as a cultural and social community, in which Förster could easily cross geographical borders, despite fragmentation and various administrative divisions, finding employment and recognition wherever he appeared.
