Lechner: O Tod, du bist ein bittre Gallen

This is the final release in the Dresdner Kreuzchor’s series of music for the church year. The music for the end of the church year is inevitably more contemplative as it includes remembrance services and provides a thoughtful pause before the joy of Advent. Included are works by Schütz, Spohr, Mendelssohn and Bach.

Last year the Dresden Kreuzchor completed a recording project of works for the great festivals and seasons of the church year. This release gives the opportunity to own the entire programme as a boxed set. Every lover of choral music will appreciate this beautifully produced set which includes a 100 page brochure with all the choral texts.
