Synopsis

Product Description
Capella Antiqua Munichs recording of the century is once again available. Recorded in 1974 in Aicha vorm Wald in Lower Bavaria, it brings the indescribable beauty of those old sacred chants to life, not just as a high-quality audio document, but as proof of present-day intensive analysis of over 1000 years of music-making. Gregorian chant composed for the most significant festivals of the church year Christmas, Easter and Whitsuntide here represents the cream of what is viewed as the origin of Western music. The recording by Capella Antiqua Munich under Konrad Ruhland has long since become a classic because it represents a milestone in the endeavor to portray the topicality of Gregorian chants timeless art form. Antiqua Munich was formed in 1951 as one of the forerunner ensembles of the Early Music movement. Under the direction of Konrad Ruhland (1932-2010) the group established itself, before disbanding in 1981, as a top-flight ensemble for medieval music through to the early Baroque.
