Description:

Calvisius: A Collection of Sacred Vocal WorksA CD long-awaited by enthusiasts of German Baroque music. Setus Calvisius (15561615) was a master composer who served as cantor at St. Thomas Church in Leipzig from 1594 until his death, making him Bachs sixth-generation predecessor. Although his work is well known, recordings are scarce, and this may well be the first comprehensive CD collection of his music. Not only is this a rare release, but the exceptionally high musical quality is truly astonishing.Gregor Meyer is a young choral conductor born in 1979. In 1999, at the young age of twenty, he founded the Vocal Consort Leipzig, which has garnered widespread acclaim.
