The majestic sound produced by the rich chorus and the heavy orchestral music is exceptional.
This album is a valuable record of East German Bach performances, allowing you to enjoy interpretations rooted in the Leipzig tradition.
Featuring some of the most famous singers of East Germany at the time, including soprano Adele Stolte, alto Gerda Schriever, tenor Peter Schreier, and bass Theo Adam, the devout and refined ensemble powerfully portrays a solemn world based on Lutheran chorales.
