5.0 out of 5 stars Schutz at his best, a work expressing his faith, February 20, 1999

This review is from: Heinrich Schütz: Musikalische Exequien; Die siebe Worte Jesu Christe am Kreuz (Audio CD)

Both the Seven Words and the Musikalische Exequien come across as an expression of faith, both from Schutz and from Mauersberger (who kept that music alive both during the Nazis and Communists). I especially like the chorus "Weil du von Tod erstanden bist", as well as Schreier in the "Seven Words" on "Es ist vollbracht"

5.0 out of 5 stars Great recording of a Masterpiece, September 10, 1998

This review is from: Heinrich Schütz: Musikalische Exequien; Die siebe Worte Jesu Christe am Kreuz (Audio CD)

One of Schutz' best choral works is sung by Dresdner Kreuzchor... At first, you might not think much about this recording, but when you then hear it again, your view WILL change. Peter Schreier is a magnificent tenor, who glorifies this CD. If you're into Schutz and like to listen to great tenor voices, this is the CD you MUST OWN... Try it out!
