Singer Pur - Der Geiger Von Echternach - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Music developed and modernised unstoppably in the tense environment of the 19th century. Parallel to the industrial, technical revolution of the 19th century, many composers broke away from the firmly chiselled rules of music theory and took ever greater liberties. Singer Pur traces this arc of tension here. The composers of the selected pieces were probably very different in their attitude to faith and spirituality. Anton Bruckner, who is said to have had an almost childishly pure faith, probably struggled less with his attitude towards God than Franz Liszt or Max Reger, for example.

This compilation includes selected works by the noted Renaissance composer Ludwig Senfl, who was an important student of Heinrich Isaac. In 1523 Senfl joined the Munich court orchestra at the court of Maximilian I, where he worked until his death. Singer Pur will perform these pieces at their Singer Pur Tage festival, and at the 2023 Medieval and Renaissance Music Conference in Munich. Singer Pur is a German vocal sextet founded in 1991 by former members of the Regensburger Domspatzen. The five original members were joined by a soprano in 1994. The sextet is focused on classical music, but who have also performed and recorded traditional folk songs and pop music. Singer Pur have recorded more than 30 albums. Singer Pur have given concerts and workshops in nearly 60 countries all over the world.
