Comment Amazon customer
I've been singing Renaissance music on and off since Jimmy Carter was President. If you like Renaissance sacred music, you need to hear this CD. Don't let the title fool you; these "songs" are mostly ensemble work and even the few solo songs are mostly exchanges with accompanying instruments.
You also need it if you're a Wunderlich fan. Fritz Wunderlich sings with a noticibly different style than he uses for Mozart or Schubert or Bach. You can still recognize his exquisite vowels and phrasing and his gallant presence but he sounds less like a miniature brass instrument and more like, well, a person, than usual.
Despite the presence of better-known composers like Heinrich Shutz, Telemann, and Buxtehude, the most staggeringly beautiful piece IMHO is track 6, the Graupner.
