      Album Details

      Immerse yourself in the enchanting world of Heinrich Schütz's "The Christmas Story & Other Works," a captivating album released on November 29, 2019, under the Hyperion label. This exquisite collection showcases Schütz's mastery of musical innovation, blending Italian opera influences with German storytelling to create a beautiful setting of the nativity story.

Each piece is performed with precision and passion, highlighting Schütz's unique ability to convey deep emotional resonance through his music.

      With a total runtime of 1 hour and 11 minutes, this album offers a comprehensive exploration of Schütz's sacred works, providing a deeply moving and spiritually uplifting listening experience.
