The Chamber Choir of the Freiburg University of Music under the direction of Morten Schuldt-Jensen proves its extraordinary quality with this recording for CARUS, containing premiere recordings.

The choir, under the direction of Professor Morten Schuldt-Jensen sees itself as the vocal ensemble of excellence in the music university family. Award-winning at the German Choir Competition 2014, it represents the musical quality of the university along with the important concert churches in southern Germany and undertakes regular concert tours to Denmark, northern Germany, Sweden and Switzerland, among others.

The starting point for this new recording was the Three Pauline Motets by the Heilbronn Kilianskantor Fritz Werner, which, like the Three Beatitudes by Volker Bräutigam, appear here for the first time ever on recording. Rarities and standard works from the motet repertoire by Schütz, Reger and Poulenc, among others, complete a programme that is as varied as it is carefully compiled.
