Description
One of the key German composers before Bach with more than 500 surviving individual pieces, Heinrich Schutz wrote mainly church music, and is credited with bringing the Italian style to Germany and continuing its evolution from the Renaissance into the early Baroque. Although he lived most of his long life in Germany, in his twenties Schutz made two visits to Venice. The first was between 1609 and 1613 when he was taught by Giovanni Gabrieli; and the second in the late 1620s to meet and possibly study under Monteverdi. The two trips greatly influenced Schutz's music as he absorbed and began to combine the ornate and theatrical Venetian style with the more understated Lutheran tradition in which he grew up. This album explores his solo cantatas alongside examples of the brilliant and virtuosic Venetian style instrumental music.
rr'Cavalli's 'O quam suavis' [x85] charms our senses while the Stabat Mater of Sances is arresting for tis chromaticism over a tetrachord ostinato bass. [x85] The clearly defined and lively articulation of the Brook Street Band inform the music which irresistible allure.' x96 BBC Music Magazine *****
rr'Throughout the performances are excellent with David de Winter bringing great style to the music, [x85] and he is finely partnered by the Brook Street Band. [x85] A wonderfully engaging and life-affirming disc.' x96 Planet Hugill
rr'David de Winter well captures and projects the innate character of each one, and the members of The Brook Street Band not only provide solid yet flexible support throughout, but are, on their own, a prime example of how a baroque music ensemble should sound. Elegance and dynamic balance throughout, a lightsome sound and gentle cadence.' x96 Classical Music Sentinel
