At the suggestion of Freiberg’s cathedral music director Albrecht Koch, CPO here releases sacred music from the Freiberg Latin School Library on Freiberg instruments from the time of this repertoire’s composition (16th c.), thus rendering audible a practically unknown and forgotten sound world. The Te Deum of Rogier Michael, one of the leading Saxon chapel masters prior to Heinrich Schütz, is the concert’s highlight. The program is complemented by more music collected and preserved in Freiberg.
