Rudolf Mauersberger - Sacred Music - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This new set presents some of Schutz's grandest works - the splendid Psalms of David, Polychoral Concertos and Motets and his moving Schwanengesang, music both magnificent and intimate. The renowned Dresden Kreuzchor became closely associated with the works of Schutz under the directorship of Rudolf Mauersberger, who made the choir an instrument of singular appeal. Here they feature alongside a number of other distinguished German choral groups and ensembles, including the Berliner Solisten.
