Wie Der Hirsch Schreiet - Sacred Concerti of the 17th Century on CD

What comforts the soul? The various settings of the 42nd Psalm and other spiritual works that are brought together on this recording provide different answers to this central human question. It's always about a path between complaint and hope. The juxtaposition of the solo bass voice, which represents the human soul, and a string ensemble offers exciting opportunities for composers like Knupfer, Schulze and Briegel to show not quick answers, but strong emotional developments. Other spiritual and instrumental works, primarily from Central Germany, show other aspects of this affective search for reliable values and are all first recordings by the Kirchheimer DubenConsort with Dominik Worner as bass soloist and directed by Jorg-Andreas Botticher.
