Recordings
Mozart – Requiem
“Each movement immediately gains its own profile, takes on momentum and impresses through a surprising blend of power and lightness. The Leipzig choir simply sings at the level of the world's best chamber choirs.”
Werner Weiss, Das Orchester, 10/2006
“Schuldt-Jensen's reading of the score stands out through notably greater attention to detail compared with other recordings: every theme, every motif is audibly shaped in dynamics and articulation.”
Rondo, 1/2006
“Here the contrasts are vividly modelled: while the trombones of the Last Judgment sound their warning … what happens musically here surpasses the majority of recordings.”
MDR Figaro
Mozart – Piano Concerto KV 491
“Every phrase, every motif is examined closely and modelled with organic breathing. That this tension never flags is one of the reasons to attest exceptional qualities to this recording.”
Christoph Braun, Rondo, 09/2004
Scarlatti – Sacred Vocal Works
“A brilliant recording – all in all perhaps the finest account of the Stabat Mater currently available. Precision in detail and magnificent unfolding of sound go hand in hand.”
Rondo, 3/2008
Schubert – Mass in E flat
“Flexibly responsive and attentive; slender in sustained singing, breathtakingly forceful in the fortissimo outbursts – a new reference recording.”
Rondo, 11/2008
Mozart – Davide Penitente
“Morten Schuldt-Jensen's attractive Naxos version is the swiftest and lightest, with a suggestion of a celestial waltz.”
Gramophone, 05/2008
Concerts
University Ensembles
“The man has courage … he went straight for the most difficult of the difficult: clarity, sound, the art of phrasing – even the most complicated voice-leading presented with absolute transparency. Freiburg, city of choirs, has a new ace.”
Badische Zeitung, inaugural concert, 1/2006
“A choral concert in a class of its own, unmatched far and wide – standing ovations for Duke Ellington's Sacred Concert.”
Uni-Zeitung Freiburg, Manuel Kreitmeier, 4/2008
Immortal Bach Ensemble
“Perfection itself – in balance, security of intonation, musical sensitivity and beauty.”
Niedersächsische Allgemeine Zeitung
“Crystal-clear articulation and extremely subtle dynamics – precise and structurally transparent, with a homogeneous choral sound.”
Westdeutsche Zeitung
“Precise as clockwork and yet full of emotional tension.”
Thüringer Allgemeine
Leipzig Chamber Orchestra
“A masterpiece of lively interpretation.”
Oltner Tagblatt
“Exuberant, playful, fresh and very brilliant.”
Ruhr Nachrichten
“The minuet performed with a finesse and agogic flexibility second to none.”
Pforzheimer Zeitung
