Schütz: Musikalische Exequien & Psalm 136

As part of our focus on Heinrich Schütz for the 350th anniversary of his passing (November 6th), we release this album including the Musikalische Exequien (Funeral Music), one of the composer’s most deeply moving pieces. This recording features baroque music specialists James Bowman, Nigel Rogers and Jennifer Smith as well as – in a rare choice for this piece – a children’s choir.
