Overview
"Musikalische Kürbishütte" is a collection of choral gems spanning four centuries, performed by the Alsfelder Vokalensemble, under the direction of Wolfgang Helbich. This album, which includes works by composers from the late Renaissance to the 19th century, highlights forgotten treasures of choral music. The pieces range from sacred settings by Jacobus de Kerle and Johann Hermann Schein to more obscure gems by Carl Martin Reinthaler and Max Bruch. These recordings, captured in live concert settings between 1976 and 1978, offer a beautiful cross-section of the richness and variety found in choral traditions across several centuries.
Each track transports listeners into the world of classical choral music, with performances that range from the dramatic to the meditative. The Alsfelder Vokalensemble brings these compositions to life with precision, clarity, and deep expressiveness, making this an important release for lovers of choral music.
