Rainer Johannes HomburgAbout
But in his six cantatas, assigned to the individual holidays, the great Thomaskantor goes far beyond pure jubilation. Rainer Johannes Homburg and his Stuttgart Hymnus-Chorknaben have now given a new version of the “musical message” about the birth of Christ, supported by competent soloists and Handel’s Company, whose baroque opulence is particularly well expressed in the three-dimensional sound of this Super Audio CD.
Timpani and trumpets mark the royal prelude. The multi-award-winning Wolfgang Bauer Trumpet Ensemble provides a magnificent sound before the extremely agile evangelist Andreas Post takes us into the events of the Holy Night. Historically informed and accompanied by instruments from the time of its origin, the masterly boys’ choir of the Stuttgart Hymnus Choir Boys’ Choir develops a Christmas-intimate mood that one cannot escape.
