Jorg BreidingAbout
A spirited interpretation and authentic colours of sound are the unmistakable hallmarks of the recording of the cantata cycle ‘Membra Jesu Nostri’, performed by the Knabenchor Hannover (Hanover Boys Choir). The Knabenchor is joined here by the Himlische Cantorey and the Baroque ensemble L’Arco. Both ensembles have appeared in numerous concerts together with the choir under the direction of Jörg Breiding.
This disc features three vocal works by Dietrich Buxtehude, performed in historically adequate manner – this entails the use of period instruments as well as the performance by a boys’ choir. Even if the historical performance context is not documented with unshakeable certainty by sources, the present recording gives an impression of how these works may have been heard in Buxtehude’s day.
Recorded 300 years after the composer’s death, the recorded works aim to demonstrate the varied facets of Buxtehude’s impressive vocal style.
This recording of the expansive ‘Membra Jesu Nostri’ is unique in so far as it is presently the only available recording of Buxtehude’s composition performed by a boys’ choir.
