About
Johannes Stobaeus was the Brandenburg-Prussian court Kapellmeister and was taught by Eccard. In 1642 and 1644 he published his Preussische Festlieder which is a musical monument to himself and his teacher. This CD marks the 400th anniversary of Eccard’s death and celebrates both the composer and Protestant church music.

Although I am struggling to think of Eccard as a Palestrina-clone these pieces do have a spirituality of their own which can be quite captivating in small doses. This is not a reflection on the performers. They evidently understand the style, have ideal intonation and clear diction with immaculate instrumental support...For its period and for its aims the music works well.
