Notes and Editorial Reviews
A German Christmas harmonia mundi Christmas edition 2011: a special edition of ten CDs exclusively devoted to Christmas! René Jacobs invites you to rediscover this Christmas History, probably the most popular work of Archicantor Schütz. In his twilight years, the greatest 17th-century German composer brilliantly combined Lutheran fervour with Italianate recitative. This title was released for the first time in 1990.
