About

Just as the composer would have wanted it, Christoph has selected a full chorus and a magnificently dimensioned orchestra for this recording. The New Orchestra performs on historical instruments and has gained renown as an outstanding interpreter of the music of the romantic era. Both the chorus and orchestra were founded by Christoph Spering. This is a fresh, brisk and sharp live performance.
