Immerse yourself in the profound and sacred music of Heinrich Schütz with his "Lukas-Passion" (St. Luke Passion). Released in 2009 on the Dacapo label, this album is a masterful rendition of Schütz's SWV 480, a setting of the Passion narrative according to St. Luke. The album features a series of powerful and moving choral and solo pieces, performed by the renowned Ars Nova Copenhagen under the direction of Paul Hillier. With a running time of 52 minutes, this recording captures the essence of Schütz's compositional genius, blending intricate polyphony with expressive monody. The ensemble is joined by a stellar cast of soloists, including Jespersen and Linderoth, who bring the story of Jesus' final days to life with their compelling performances. This album is a testament to Schütz's enduring influence on Baroque music and his ability to convey the deepest human emotions through his sacred works.
