About This Item
Volume 11 of the Carus recording project documenting Heinrich Schütz's complete works presents the composer's Matthäuspassion SWV 479 (St. Matthew Passion). Schütz, who lived well into his eighties, wrote this magnificent edifice in his last decade of life. A compellingly austere work not yet full-throated in it's overt emotionalism, it is supplemented with additional pieces for Passiontide, including the Litania SWV 458. Under the direction of Hans-Christoph Rademann, the Dresdner Kammerchor performs together with soloists Georg Poplutz (as Evangelist) and Felix Rumpf (as Jesus) Album Tracks 1. Litania, SWV458 2.
