The Chamber choir of the Freiburg University of Music under the direction of Morten Schuldt-Jensen proves its extraordinary quality with this recording for CARUS. The starting point for the recording project was the Three Pauline Motets by the Heilbronn Kilianskantor Fritz Werner, which, like the Three Beatitudes by Volker Bräutigam, appear here for the first time ever on recording. Rarities and standard works from the motet repertoire by Schütz, Reger and Poulenc, among others, complete a program that is as varied as it is carefully compiled. Heinrich Schütz; Rudolf Mauersberger; Francis Poulenc; Max Reger; Volker Bräutigam; Georg Schumann; Fritz Werner Motets from Heinrich Schütz to Fritz Werner Morten Schuldt-Jensen; Kammerchor der Hochschule für Musik Freiburg Carus
