{"product_id":"2793111","title":"Wuppertaler Kurrende - Quempas [CD]","description":"Singing, especially at Christmas, is an age-old tradition that the Wuppertaler Kurrende consciously and diligently upholds. Among the many Christmas carols, the \"Quempas\" stands out as a significant piece, sung in various regions of Germany for centuries. In the Wuppertaler Kurrende's 100-year history, Quempas concerts have been a staple of the concert calendar for over 70 years. In addition to the Quempas, artistic director Lukas Baumann has curated a diverse programme for the album, spanning from the Renaissance to contemporary music. This includes a specially commissioned composition by Alwin Michael Schronen. The album features well-known Christmas classics presented in a new light: with introductions, interludes, and postludes, the Lautten Compagney Berlin and soprano Johanna Rosa Falkinger bring a fresh interpretation to familiar Christmas carols, which are not always heard in their traditional arrangements. With its eleven instrumentalists, the ensemble creates a richly textured soundscape, enhancing not just the Quempas but the entire festive repertoire.","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54933298151809,"sku":"2793111","price":13.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/4037408062688.jpg?v=1761972378","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2793111","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
