Heinrich Schütz - Motetten Aus Der Geistlichen Chormusik

Review by Paolo Valenti

Motetten Aus Der Geistlichen Chormusik is a beautiful album by the German composer Heinrich Schütz. The album comprises of 22 choral pieces, all of which showcase Schütz's mastery of the Baroque choral style.

The album opens with the majestic "Cantate Domino," which features soaring vocal lines and intricate polyphonic textures. Other standout tracks include "Die Himmel erzählen die Ehre Gottes," which features beautiful harmonies and a gentle, lilting melody, and "Selig sind die Toten," which is a poignant and moving tribute to the departed.

Throughout the album, the choir's performances are impeccable, with each voice perfectly balanced and blended. The use of period instruments, such as the organ and harpsichord, adds an authentic touch to the music.

Summary by Paolo Valenti

Motetten Aus Der Geistlichen Chormusik is a must-listen for fans of Baroque choral music. Schütz's compositions are timeless and beautiful, and this album is a testament to his enduring legacy as one of the greatest choral composers of all time.
