Released on April 1, 2021, under the Rondeau Production label, this album is a testament to the enduring power and beauty of early Baroque and Renaissance music.
Spanning a generous 80 minutes, the album features a diverse range of compositions, from choral works to motets and liturgical pieces. The Knabenchor Hannover, known for their precise and nuanced performances, brings a youthful energy and clarity to Praetorius's intricate and harmonically rich music.
