in France, the spring of 1769 was a true watershed in his career. When, two years previously,
he joined a competition held by Concert Spirituel, a major French music institution, he
evidently had in mind being employed as a musician in Paris. The contestants' task was to
compose a "motet à grand choeur", encompassing a sequence of arias, ensembles and
choruses, set to the Latin text of Psalm 136, Super flumina Babylonis. Although Richter failed
to win the competition, his work arouse great interest and on 28 March 1769 it premiered
within the Concert Spirituel series at the Tuileries Palace, at the largest music venue in Paris
at the time. Less than a month later, Richter was appointed the Maitre de Chapelle de Notre
Dame de Strasbourg. The motet Super flumina Babylonis undoubtedly played a significant
role in his being named to the prestigious post. Over the first years he spent in Strasbourg
(1770-73), Richter wrote three settings of Psalm 50, Miserere mei Deus, intended for the
night liturgy of Tenebrae, a religious service held during the three days preceding Easter. In
addition to Super flumina Babylonis, the present album features the third setting of the
Miserere, in F minor, in a premiere recording. In their fourth disc of Richter's music, Czech
Ensemble Baroque discover the yet to be mapped legacy of the distinguished 18th-century
composer.
