Sacred choral music represents a cornerstone of Felix Mendelssohn’s work and reflects his musical development and versatility. The complete recording by the Kammerchor Stuttgart under the direction of Frieder Bernius - the result of a project stretching over more than two decades - has been highly praised by the press and has received numerous awards. To mark the 50th anniversary of the choir, this double CD presents the highlights of the complete recording: the most beautiful psalms, church hymns, chorales, mass movements, excerpts from the oratorios and the Lobgesang. From “Denn er hat seinen Engeln” to “Verleih uns Frieden” - Frieder Bernius’s masterful interpretations unfold Mendelssohn’s sense of cantabile melody and differentiated harmony in colourful, transparent diction.
