HEINRICH IGNAZ FRANZ VON BIBER Litaniae de Sancto Josepho Cantus Cölln, Concerto Palatino, Konrad Junghänel

Baroque Salzburg.
Up until the beginning of the 19th century the powerful prince-archbishops of Salzburg encouraged the creation of an extremely rich output of religious music. Thus, for instance, the compositions that Biber and Muffat, destined for performance in the Cathedral of Salzburg, are among the summits of the genre, not only in the wealth of their vocal and instrumental forces, but also in their sumptuous sonorities. In order to re-create the acoustic conditions of those in the Cathedral of Salzburg, this recording was made in the Abbey of Melk, thereby offering an ideal symbiosis of place, of music and of performers.
