This review is from: Martin Luther & The Music (Audio CD)

Luther said so well that next to the Word of God, nothing is so powerful in touching us with God's love than music!

This CD reverbrates on that theme! Wonderful stuff from Luther's own kantor: Johann Walter, plus the great works by Desprez, Othmayr, Osiander and Von Bruck and Praetorius.

Especially enjoy Walter's "Beati Immanulati".

Must for baroque fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, stunning recording, May 26, 2004

Frederick II of Hohenstaufen "Amor et Hilaritas" (right here) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Martin Luther & The Music (Audio CD)

This disc is a real gem. I took a chance and bought it (never having heard of the record label or the choir, nor most of the music for that matter!) and was very happily surprised. I am not Lutheran (not even Christian) yet the yearning for the Absolute rings clearly in each piece. Highly recommended!
