Cantus Cölln Concerto Palatino Konrad Junghänel

A work of extraordinary richness.A crucial stage in Schütz's development, The Psalms of David also mark a decisive milestone in the birth of Baroquemusic in Germany. Having returned from Italy in 1613, armed with all the knowledge and experience needed forcomposing "new music", Schütz waited eight years before publishing his first "remarkable work" (sic) in the field ofsacred music. This maturing process led to the full blossoming of one of the summits of musical expression in whicheach psalm is invested with its own specific character, and in which Venetian novelties are intermingled with ascrupulous attention to the text. The variety of the musical techniques employed is simply breathtaking.This title was released for the first time in 1998.
