Where it came from
Vanitas Vanitatum was released in 1999 by the label CD Accord, featuring the work of 17th-century composer Kaspar Förster performed by the ensemble Il Tempo. The album highlights the highly expressive and often melancholic style of Förster, who was a significant figure in the musical life of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the Baroque era. This recording serves as a scholarly effort to bring lesser-known liturgical and secular vocal works into the modern repertoire, emphasizing the dramatic tension characteristic of mid-17th-century Italianate influence in Northern Europe.
The production sought to capture the intimacy of chamber-scale Baroque instrumentation, balancing Förster's intricate vocal lines with period-appropriate accompaniment. The choice of the title Vanitas Vanitatum underscores the prevailing preoccupation with the fleeting nature of life and worldly vanity found in the era's music. Upon its release, the recording was well-received by early music critics for its technical precision and the ensemble's dedication to period-informed performance practices, helping to solidify the reputation of the CD Accord label in documenting regional European Baroque legacies.
