Augsburg Cathedral Boys Choir - Palestrina 500 [CD]

The Augsburg Cathedral Boys' Choir is celebrating Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina as one of the greatest composers in music history with a recording to mark the 500th anniversary of his birth in 2025.

The focus is on the eight-part 'Missa Fratres ego enim accepi', which Palestrina composed as a parody mass of the motet of the same name, which he also penned. What is special about the recording is the use and interplay with instruments, as is documented for polyphonic repertoire in Augsburg in the 16th century, as well as historical pitches.

Conductor Stefan Steinemann began his musical career at the age of 5 with the Augsburg Cathedral Boys' Choir and in 2020, became the youngest Domkapellmeister in Germany to take over the overall musical direction of Augsburg Cathedral and thus also the artistic direction of the Augsburg Cathedral Boys' Choir.

I Fedeli is an ensemble specialising in the performance of 16th and 17th century music and for music of the 16th century, I Fedeli plays in a wind instrument formation typical for that time; this combination of cornetto, tenor cornetto, pommer and sackbutt.
