Jauchzet dem Herrn, alle Lande
Following two CDs devoted to Heinrich von Herzogenberg's secular choral music, this latest recording is devoted to the composer's sacred music. Beginning in 1879 Herzogenberg composed a total of five volumes of liturgical settings for the theologian Friedrich Spitta. They are oriented entirely towards practical use in worship services and are organized for various occasions during the church year. The ensemble cantissimo presents a selection from these settings and these are supplemented by their recording of the Four Motets, op. 103.

Ensemble
Ensemble cantissimo
Founded in 1994, ensemble cantissimo is one of the most sought-after vocal ensembles in the German-speaking world. The name speaks for itself: “cantissimo” is synonymous with a cappella singing. And from the very beginning the group’s main interest has been in the incredible range of music beyond the mainstream repertoire. With its distinctive interpretations and exciting choice of programmes, the choir, with singers from Germany and Switzerland, conducted by Markus Utz, has thrilled audiences and critics alike. Regular invitations to leading music festivals and a close collaboration with radio stations reflect the high regard the ensemble’s vocal artistry is held in. Personal details

Die Interpretationen sind einfach ein Hörgenuss.

[…] eine Entdeckung wert.
Karsten Blüthgen, Chorzeit, September 2014
[…] meisterhaft interpretiert. Intonation, Phrasierung, musikalische Schattierungen, dynamische Spannbreite: Bei diesem Chor vermisst man keines der wesentlichen Attribute eines geradezu makellosen Chorklanges.
[…] masterly performed by ‘cantissimo’. Their singing is flawless.
