Even more than Antonio Bertali (1605-1669), Samuel Capricornus (1628-1665) belongs to composers of the 17th century, whose oeuvre is barely or only little discographically accessible. The Capricornus Ensemble Stuttgart takes care of his works and shows that the music of the Stuttgarter Hofkapellmeister (Capricornus) can easily cope with that of the Viennese Hofkapellmeister (Bertali). The Capricornus Ensemble Stuttgart is named after the Stuttgart chamber music director Samuel Capricornus. It is an international ensemble founded by the Stuttgart trumpet professor Henning Wiegrabe. The focus of the ensemble is to present treasures of the Renaissance and Baroque eras.
Shout for joy, praise & cheer! Gordon Safari has put together a collection of festive cantatas and motets by Johann Sebastian Bach for his ensemble of instrumental and vocal soloists recorded in the authentic setting of St. Thomas Church in Leipzig. BachWerkVokal is critically acclaimed as one of the most exciting new ensembles in the field of historical performance practice. The high quality of MDG's 2+2+2 recording technique reproduces the rich acoustics of Bach's original church, up into the heights of the vaulted ceiling.
