Product description

Immerse yourself in the timeless beauty of 17th-century sacred music with Sir Peter Pears' captivating album, "17th Century Motets." Released in 1962 under the BNF Collection label, this classical gem showcases Pears' exquisite tenor voice, accompanied by a stellar ensemble, as they bring to life motets by renowned composers such as Buxtehude, Purcell, and Schütz. The album spans a concise yet impactful 41 minutes, featuring six tracks that blend opera, requiem, choral, and classical genres. Highlights include the serene "O fröhliche Stunden" by Buxtehude and the stirring "Thou Wakeful Shepherd" by Purcell. Pears, a favorite tenor of Benjamin Britten, delivers a performance that has stood the test of time, with his 1962 recording of "Herr, nun lässt du deinen Diener" by Buxtehude still celebrated as one of the finest interpretations. This album is a testament to Pears' artistry and the enduring power of 17th-century motets.
