Recording of the Month
“…Manfred Cordes has once again produced a recording of great importance and of great beauty. The oeuvre of Schütz has been recorded complete and parts of it are relatively well-known … It is different with Praetorius: there is no complete recording, and if his music is performed, it is often part of recordings of music for Christmastide… He has much more to offer and I sincerely hope that some day we will see a complete recording of his oeuvre. In the meantime, each disc with his music is most welcome, especially if it is as brilliantly performed as here by Weser-Renaissance. The performers have made just everything right.

“…with very good sound quality that effectively highlights all the dynamic aspects of Ichmouratov's music. Melophiles who appreciate updated romanticism will be captivated by this recording, which may be considered anachronistic but possesses qualities that are hard to ignore. We, ourselves, got caught up in it, that says it all.”
