World premiere recording of Samuel Scheidt

Samuel Scheidt, who was born in Halle an der Saale in 1587 and died there in 1654, is one of the most well-known composers of the early Baroque (he is always mentioned as one of the "three great Sch" along with Schütz and Schein). With his numerous surviving works, however, he is not very present in contemporary concert life. As a cycle, his "Lieblichen Krafft-Blümlein" are a world premiere recording. Most of the individual pieces have also never been recorded before. The collection consists of a total of twelve continuo-accompanied duets on texts largely composed from biblical words. The sparse instrumentation, which completely dispenses with the use of treble instruments to supplement the vocal parts, makes the pieces at first glance seem less than spectacular. But appearances are deceptive: Scheidt knows how to direct the listener's attention to the varied dialogue between the two vocal voices, which are not only simply accompanied by the continuo instruments, but are also effectively supported in their text-affine actions and repeatedly commented on motivically.
