Choral Masterpieces of Germany and Austria

Elysian Singers of London

From the 17th-century Schütz to the 19th-century Bruckner, the German-speaking lands produced some of the most impressive and enduring psalm settings in the repertoire: including such well-known pieces as Mozart’s ‘Laudate Dominum’ but also some rarities such as a Hebrew setting by Schubert. The crowning glory is Bach’s motet ‘Singet dem Herrn’ but he is well supported by fellow Leipzigers Heinrich Schein and Felix Mendelssohn.
