Annette Dasch: German Baroque Songs

Annette Dasch, soprano; Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin

German Baroque Lieder
Oeuvres d'Albert, Krieger, Hammerschmidt, Erlebach, Dedekind, Kindermann

It was in 2004 that Annette Dacsh recorded this collection of songs composed during the Thirty Years War. Listening to it, we discover that Baroque poets become more accessible when they speak of the atrocities commited in their time. But perhaps the moving songs of thanksgiving written to celebrate the end of the war in 1948 are even more immediatly affecting than these scenes of horror.
This title was released for the first time in 2004.
