Notes
Only few testimonies provide us any details about this now little known but once esteemed composer. Born in Coburg, 1735, Anton Schweitzer died 1787 in Gotha, where he had settled following the Weimar palace fire in 1774. Regrettably, only relatively few manuscripts have survived. Some of the works recorded here (which comprise almost the entire existing church music) have been preserved in several copies, which were recently found in different archives in Thuringia. This recording shows us a colorful virtuoso music of an unjustly forgotten composer. The works on this release are world premiere recordings.

Reviews
“… This disc proves that between the baroque and classical periods a lot of good (sacred) vocal music was written in Germany. It is only recently that performers have started to recognize that, and this disc delivers further evidence.”
Johan van Veen – MusicWeb-International.com – 7 February 2022
“… It is a lovely performance all around…”
Peter Lowen – American Record Guide – July/August 2021
“…Nourishing fare for those curious as to the sort of musical activity that took place between the times and places of Bach and Mozart…”
David Threasher – Gramophone magazine – June 2021
