Ernst Wilhelm Wolf Christmas Cantatas bring holiday cheer

If you're interested in seasonal cantatas, give this release a listen. I found them a welcome alternative to the heaviness of late Baroque cantatas.

Luca Maranzio - Missa Jubilate Receives World Recording Premiere

The Cappella Musicale della Cattedrale di Vercelli has a wonderful vocal blend. There's a luminous quality to the sound, especially when the entire ensemble is singing.

Jan Willem de Vriend gives Mayer symphonies energetic readings

Jan Willem de Vriend leads the NDR Radiophilharmonie in some excellent performances. He keeps the energy level high, and the ensemble sound controlled. Mayer's tutti climaxes lean more towards Mendelssohn than Beethoven. And that's how de Vriend plays it.

Ambitious Oratorios from Georg Philipp Telemann

Michael Alexander Willens and the Kölner Akademie are among the premier practitioners of high German Baroque choral music. Their performances here are fluid and supple.
