  • Description

    Manfred Cordes is the initiator and artistic director of his new project "Music from old Hanseatic cities" with the EUROPAISCHE HANSE-ENSEMBLE. Cordes' special affinity for North German music, his interest in the history of the Hanseatic League as a network operating throughout Europe, and his commitment to the professionalization of young musicians resulted in the idea for a project that combines all these aspects. Now Vol. 1 is available with works from old Stralsund by Johann Vierdanck, Eucharius Hoffmann and Caspar Movius. There are sacred concerts, some with choral and soloistic alternations between a lush instrumental choir of violins, tines and trombones and four singers, but there are also demanding capricci, canzoni and sonatas. Often the compositions bear dedications to councilors from Stralsund - still a city of cultural exchange, a city of trade and Baltic meetings.
