Description
Sebastian Knupfer is yet another Baroque composer whose reputation and popularity have been overshadowed by J S Bach. Little of Knupfer's music has previously been transcribed from its many manuscripts, let alone published. However, in his day Knupfer was a respected and highly sought-after composer; his compositions were admired by his contemporaries and, according to his obituary, he 'composed quotations of the Psalms and other Biblical books with such sweetness and skilfulness that he delighted even the saddest hearts, and his name is spoken with admiration not only in Leipzig but also outside'.
As we have come to expect from Robert King and his King's Consort, the performances are of the highest standard with some of the finest singers on the early music platform today.
