For more than 20 years choral conductor and musicologist Clytus Gottwald has been transcribing piano-accompanied Lieder and instrumental works for a cappella choir. On this CD, transcriptions of works by Schumann, Liszt, Nietzsche, Ravel and Debussy are presented in an interpretation by the Chamber Choir Saarbrucken and it's conductor Prof. Georg Grun.

Frieder Bernius and the Kammerchor Stuttgart have taken on one of the most exciting pieces of Passion music in music history InchThe Seven Last Words of Our Savior on the CrossInch must have had a quite extraordinary significance for Haydn himself. After all, he published the work in three different versions and conceived the vocal version recorded here as the crowning finale. The new recording with Anna-Lena Elbert, Sophie Harmsen, Florian Sievers, Sebastian Noack and the Kammerchor Stuttgart under the direction of Frieder Bernius achieves an emotionality that can hardly be surpassed.
