Editorial Reviews

From the Artist

This recording is part of a cycle of old testament oratorios by G. F. Handel and is one of the many concerts performed at Maulbronn monastery over the past years. The series combines authentically performed baroque oratorios with the optimal acoustics and atmosphere of this unique monastic church. This ideal location demands the transparency of playing and the interpretive unveiling of the rhetoric intimations of the composition, which is especially aided by the historically informed performance. So the music is played only on reconstructed historical instruments tuned to the pitch that was usual in the composer's day. For the sake of authenticity, the tuning in this performance is therefore the same as that customarily used in Mozart's times (a = c. 430 Hz).

Product Description

An audiophile concert recording of an historically informed performance at the basilica of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Maulbronn Monastery, sung in German, with Marlis Petersen (Soprano), Margot Oitzinger (Alto), Markus Schäfer (Tenor), Marek Rzepka (Bass), the Hanoverian Court Orchestra (on period instruments) and the Maulbronn Chamber Choir. Conductor: Juergen Budday.

A complete recording of the Oratorio by George Frideric Handel in the arrangement of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, recorded and created by Andreas Otto Grimminger & Josef-Stefan Kindler. A release from the Maulbronn Monastery CD-Series by K&K Verlagsanstalt.
