Kantate [HMC901651] Andreas Scholl


Kantate [HMC901651] Andreas Scholl
Classical | Ape (Single Tracks) dbPowerAMP | 1CD/340MB | Small Front Cover+Booklet | RS.com
A German Anthology. The pieces on this recording demonstrate the consummate art with which the German composers reconciled the new ideas imported from Italy at the very beginning of the 17th century (the principle of the basso continuo, accompanied monody, the concertato technique) with local traditions, thereby giving birth to works of a subtle beauty and an almost inexhaustible richness. This stylistic revolution paved the way to the flourishing of great forms like the vocal solo, the spiritual concert, the cantata, etc. cultivated by composers as different as Schütz, Buxtehude, Tunder and Erlebach: in the very heart of Baroque Europe the Germans were taking their place.
