100 MASTERPIECES of SACRED CHORAL MUSIC
Wiener Sängerknaben · Thomanerchor Leipzig · Regensburger Domspatzen ....
„Singing is the foundation of everything in music“, wrote Georg Philipp Telemann, and this basic musical truth still holds good today. This 5CD-Set with 100 Masterpieces can be an incentive to reflect once again on the foundation of music and, additionally, to become acquainted with the diversity of sacred choral compositions. For precisely in this sphere the most compositionally lavish, musically captivating choral works were written. This particularly applies to J.S.Bach, Mozart, Schubert, Mendelssohn, Brahms and Bruckner. Specially recordings by these and others have been assembled here, partly in the original scoring with a boys’ choir. What earlier was current practice is today almost a rarity.
