Description:

This is the fourth release in the Originale series, featuring performances on period instruments. Schtzs Christmas Story, which tells the story of Christs birth with instrumental accompaniment, is one of the most beautiful works among the many Christmas-themed compositions, embodying rich musical ideas within its simplicity. The soloists soft, refined voice and the dreamlike sound of the Davana Consort and choir beautifully capture the works inherent beauty. Recorded in 19851986. (C)RS
