This album, produced in collaboration with elite instrumentalists gathered in Freiburg, Germany—one of Europe’s leading centers for early music—features the 17th-century German-language music in which they excel! The group has long been acclaimed for its recordings of liturgical music dedicated to the dead, including Schütz’s *Funeral Music* and Fuchs’s *Requiem*; this time, however, the program centers on the masterpieces of the Salzburg maestro Biber—a composer they have not previously featured. The instrumental lineup features Veronica Skupryk, Petra Mülejans, Hille Pearl, Lee Santana, and sakbut (trombone) player Simen van Mehelen—a small ensemble bringing together top-tier musicians active across the global early music scene. The vocal section is also small, allowing the individual personalities of the members to shine through. Combined with the beautiful timbre of the period instruments, the performance vividly captures the musical flow of each work, creating a masterful rendition that brings the unique musical world of the 17th century vividly to life—a sensation that is simply irresistible. The program selection, which offers an overview of the connection between the north and south of the German-speaking world—beginning with Bernhard of Hamburg and concluding with the Viennese master Fuchs—is also exquisite. This is a well-crafted early music album that is truly characteristic of the ALPHA label.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595649769761,"sku":"4589538763411","price":2970.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538763411.jpg?v=1790482122","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538763411","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
