Immerse yourself in the profound and sacred compositions of Heinrich Schütz, one of the most significant German composers of the late Renaissance and early Baroque periods. This album, "Schütz: Musikalische Exequien," is a deeply moving and spiritually resonant work that showcases Schütz's mastery of sacred music. Released in 1970 by Eterna, the album features three tracks that collectively form a concert in the form of a German funeral mass, known as "Musikalische Exequien." The centerpiece is the motet "Herr, wenn ich nur dich habe" and the canticle "Herr, nun lässest du deinen Diener in Frieden fahren," both of which are performed with a sense of solemnity and reverence. Spanning just over 35 minutes, this album is a testament to Schütz's ability to convey deep emotional and spiritual depth through his music. Whether you are a longtime admirer of early Baroque music or a newcomer to the genre, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience.
