The greatest late-Middle Age, German song lyric poets, the Monk of Salzburg and Oswald von Wolkenstein, the ‘last of the Minnesingers’, not only represent the flowering of secular poetry and music of their time but were also important sacred music composers in the German language. • Featuring world premiere recordings, Hör, kristenhait!
