Publishing Authentic Classical Concerts entails for us capturing and recording for posterity outstanding performances and concerts. The performers, audience, opus and room enter into an intimate dialogue that in its form and expression, its atmosphere, is unique and unrepeatable. It is our aim, the philosophy of our house, to enable the listener to acutely experience every facet of this symbiosis, the intensity of the performance, so we record the concerts in direct 2-Track Stereo digital. The results are unparalleled interpretations of musical and literary works, simply - audiophile snapshots of permanent value.
Flourishing culture, enthralling the audience and last but not least also you the listener, are the values we endeavor to document in our editions and series.

I could not be happier with these superb recording... |
| I have been listening to the 2 cds of SAMSON quite extensively, and I must say that this recording is truly impressive. I have been extremely pleased with the technical aspects of the recording: it is "clean" and clear with very little extraneous sounds. This addition by K&K Verlagsanstalt to the recorded Handel repertoire is a magnificent model, exemplary of how to bring this monumental work to life for the modern audience. The crisp, clear recording, the excellent engineering, the incredible acoustics, the superb performance make this of the best Handel compact disc I have purchased in a long time. The engineering of this recording is highly commendable! This is a performance to be treasured and is of the highest caliber of historically-informed practice. In sum, I could not be happier with this superb recording...more |

This music is Handel at his greatest! |
| THIS IS A LIVE RECORDING!!! There is nothing more exciting than listening to a recording of a performance that is taking place at a partiular time. The performers are definitely 'up' for it, as is the conductor. That is one reason why I LOVE these Maulbronn records... There are some really tuneful and lively Handelian tunes in this oratorio; some of which are: "Return O God of Hosts" Chance and the chorus- "How Willing My Paternal Love" Raimond Nolte (baritone)- "Ye Sons of Israel, Now Lament" Chance-and it concludes with the familiar chorus: "Let the Celestial concerts all Unite". This music is Handel at his greatest! |

I assure you that all Oratorios from Maulbronn are first-rate |
| This CD is the first one that I heard from Maulbronn and I was stunned by the entire performance! It was exciting both vocally and instrumentally; I found it impossible to pause even for sustenance. Jurgen Budday has assembled a great lineup of soloists who projected their respective roles perfectly. For the most part the words of the chorus were understandable and created the proper dramatic tension. Michael Chance as Solomon displayed his usual skill in getting inside the role and the songs. The scene with the 2 harlots who were both claiming the same child was compellingly realistic. So many great songs by Handel on this disc I wouldn't want to have missed it! Since then I have purchased 4 more Oratorios from Maulbronn. I assure you that they are all first-rate! |

|
| The venerable Württemburgisches Kammerorchester under Jörg Faerber,with violinist Linus Roth in the Violin Concerto No. 5 in A major, K. 219, deliver the clean Mozart performances for which they have long been known, and the live sound is exceptionally good. Recommended for anyone who wants to hear a composer who held the stage (or noble household music room) with Mozart and Haydn in the 1780s...." |

Highly recommended |
| ...The Tendai monks and the Schola Gregoriana Pragensis ensemble have created a wonderful recording resulting from their mutual collaboration at concerts and liturgy in Prague in 2000 and on tour of Japan in 2005. These meditative encounters focus on interesting contrasts in the two musical languages and expressions, at the same time seeking common elements present in both traditions. Parallels can be found in the recitation of the sacred text or in the interpretation principle of alternating a soloist with a choir, which overlaps the boundaries of confession repertoires. Another striking feature is the tonality based on the pentatonic scale appearing both in shomyo singing and Gregorian chant. This unique collaboration has produced music of mesmerising beauty and intensity. Highly recommended. |

These performances definitely stretch the brains and the ears |
| The German pianist Franz Vorraber offers unorthodox performances of Schubert standards that won't be to everyone's taste but that definitely stretch the brains and the ears and don't depart radically from the score. The four Impromptus of Op. 90 are sharply differentiated from one another, and Vorraber makes them into pieces with a more public character than they are usually given...read ore |

A terrific performance and the equally rare chance to hear one of Europe's most thoughtful ensembles |
| Sándor Veress has been overshadowed by his Hungarian compatriots, but on the rare occasions when I encounter his music I always find it worth hearing. His First Quartet, premiered in Prague in 1935 but written four years earlier, is demonstrably from the same soil as Bartók and Kodály, but quite individual. Its first movement is in slow-fast-slow form, after which comes an Andante and finally a highly rhythmic Vivo. The German based Orpheus Quartet gives a terrific performance to end this concert, recorded live in the convent at Maulbronn... The disc is worth pursuing for the rare Veress and the equally rare chance to hear one of Europe´s most thoughtful ensembles. Since the disc was made, the Orpheus has changed its second violinist and we have had the appalling news of the death of leader Charles-André Linale. |

I enjoyed it tremendously |
| It took me completely unawares when the dramatic opening bars of "Death and the Maiden" gripped me by the throat and threatened immediate life-extinction; I felt as if I were living the story myself, and though no maiden, I could certainly relate to her death-obsessed plight. This version is almost orchestral in feeling. While it is true that there is a huge amount of reverb in this space - well, it is a monastery - this only partially accounts for the destructive vehemence that the Amati gives this work. They see and saw their way as if it were the world's last concert, or the devil himself was in the audience. I enjoyed it tremendously... |
