Rome in the 18th century: this reconstruction of Marian Vespers: five psalms, a Magnificat and their brief antiphons - is drawn from the works of the maestro di cappella of St Peter's, Virgiliormonia mundi France. Mazzocchi, and his close colleagues Carissimi and Frescobaldi.Anything but austere, this music is a worthy successor to that of the great Palestrina. Founded in 1987 by Konrad Junghänel, the Cantus Cölln vocal ensemble soon came to be regarded as one of the finest ensembles on the international musical scene. It devotes itself essentially to the italian and german renaissance and baroque and the rediscovery of an entire, but hitherto rather neglected musical production has met with resounding public success. Its first record (Schein's Diletti Pastorali) won several international awards. The members of the Cantus Cölln are all singers with successful careers as soloists, but everyone who has heard it has been struck by the extraordinary homogeneity of the ensemble. Since 1996 Cantus Cölln has recorded exclusively for has recorded exclusively for harmonia mundi France.
