He continually assimilated his anxious and painful experiences into his works, but in the process created an optimistic, peaceful view of the future. His Kleine geistliche Konzerte II are also a highly sensitive response to the social conditions of the time. This new recording of these works is now being released as part of the Schütz Complete Recording. This is one of the last recordings with the harpsichordist, organist, and conductor Ludger Rémy, who died in 2017 after a long illness. Ludger Rémy has won numerous international prizes for his recordings, including as nominee for the Cannes Classical Award 1997 with Les Amis de Philippe Orchestra and as its recipient with Alta Ripa of Hannover in 1998. As a conductor, he was recipient of the German Record Critics Prize 3/2000 and again as nominee for the Cannes Classical Award 2001 for Georg Philipp Telemann's Der Tod Jesu.  Price: $39.98 |
