About

When Johann Sebastian Bach assumed his position as Thomaskantor in Leipzig, the students at St Thomas could already look back on a 500-year-old tradition. On the occasion of the 800th anniversary of St Thomas, the rich musical legacy of this institution, prior to Bach’s appointment there, are brought to life in sound. In addition to works by Johann Sebastian Bach, this CD presents compositions of six of his direct predecessors.

The Chamber Choir Josquin des Prèz, under the direction of Ludwig Bohme, impresses with its remarkable musical sensitivity and surety of style, as well as with an homogeneous, perfectly balanced choral style.
