Description

This album presents a unique collection of Christmas music from the library of the Sacro Convento in Assisi, which had previously been inaccessible to researchers. The works, spanning a period of 700 years, offer insight into the musical culture of 18th-century Assisi, which was heavily influenced by the Neapolitan tradition. The album contains chamber music distinguished by its simplicity and contemplative character, and presents forgotten Christmas cantatas brought to life by conductor Werner Ehrhardt and L'Arte Del Mondo. Soprano Ruth Ziesak and trumpeter Reinhold Friedrich, both renowned for their acclaimed performances, contribute their talents to this captivating rediscovery.
