Vox Luminis - Schütz: Musicalische Exequien - The Observer

It has received some fine recordings, and this new one is quite outstanding – 12 light-voiced singers alternating solo, ensemble, and "choral" forces, a beautifully balanced ensemble of individual yet blended voices. Photos of the magnificent coffin of the noble lord in whose honour this music was written are in the booklet; Lionel Meunier's thoughtful direction makes a serene and rewarding disc.
