Recordings: recent releases of plainchant

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  12 September 2008

Extract

The series of chant programmes that Fr Hubert Dopf has recorded with the Vienna Hofburgkapelle on Philips has progressed slowly until now. My discography listed 411140 and 416808, and 432089–2 followed in this review (1992, no. 20). Now all at once, five new titles have been announced, although only two have arrived (nos. 1 and 2 in the list at the end of this article). These adopt a new plan in following the course of the liturgical year. In this plan, the programme of chants of the Holy Spirit on the third disc is defined as belonging to Pentecost, while Advent and Christmas herewith will be followed by Easter, Ascension and Marian feasts. The new scheme resulted in new versions of much of the content of the second disc of the set. The interpretation is semiological, even using the revised melodies that have been edited by the Associazione Internazionale Studi di Canto Gregoriano (AISCGre).
