Description
Under the overall direction of Hans-Christoph Rademann and the Dresdner Kammerchor, this series is the first complete recording of Heinrich Schutz's oevre.
Hans-Christoph Rademann, Artistic Director of the Dresdner Kammerchor, founded in 1985, and Director of the Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart, is one of the most sought-after choral directors today and this series has been internationally critically acclaimed.
One of his specialism is early music, in particular exploring the long-forgotten riches of Dresden’s musical heritage and this recording represents a new high point in the first Schütz Complete Recording: very little secular music by Heinrich Schütz survives today.
His songs and wedding music are a precious proof of his masterly madrigalian artistry, a skill which he acquired during his years studying in Venice. Full of emotion and vibrant color, these works show a new and different picture of the composer which make evident his vitality, his frequently playful word-painting and his fine wit.
Soloists (including Dorothee Mields and Georg Poplutz) and obbligato instruments – cornetts, violins, trombones, and gambas – combine and intertwine with each other here in captivating melodies.
Highly recommended.
