Schutz: Psalmen Davids / Junghanel
) | Label: harmonia mundi Catalog: HMG501652 Format: CD Cantus Cölln, Konrad JunghänelComposed by: SCHÜTZ, H. This reissue in harmonia mundi's hmGold series features Konrad Junghänel leading Cantus Cölln and Concerto Paladino in Heinrich Schütz's Psalms of David - a milestone in the birth of Baroque music in Germany. Having returned from Italy in 1613, armed with all the knowledge and experience needed for composing "new music," Schütz waited eight years before publishing this key work of sacred music. Each psalm is invested with its own specific character, and in which Venetian flavors are intermingled with German order and a scrupulous attention to the text. The variety of the musical techniques employed is simply breathtaking.  Price: $21.98 |
