Lehmann,Martin Johann Staden: Motetten CD

The Windsbach Boys Choir is among the leaders of boys' choirs and has an international reputation with the public and press. He is praised repeatedly for the "cleanliness and lightness, balance and softness" of it's sound. (FAZ) On his new CD, the choir presented under the direction of Martin Lehman with the early music specialists the Capella de la Torre and Concerto Palatino, the world premiere recording of 15 motets of Renaissance Nuremberg composer Johann Staden (1581 to 1634). The remarkable work of highly respected composer, organist and music director includes 65 secular and 180 religious works. The resulting 1625 motets combine the polyphonic motet style of the 16th century with the sound splendor of Venetian polychorality. The stylistic diversity is impressive, ranging from simple einch?rigen motets to consuming occupied, sounding mighty tutti works with echo and remote choirs. The soloists Hana Bla??kov (soprano), Alex Potter (Altus), Satoshi Mizukoshi (tenor) and Dominik W?rner (Bass).
