About

After the successful release of Advent and Christmas music by the early baroque master Michael Praetorius, CPO are pleased to present the world premiere recording of his Easter Mass.

The extant Wolfenbüttel church constitution of 1569 enables us to experience the Mass with the parts and in the order that it would have been celebrated during Praetorius’ term as chapel master.

Awards and reviews

16th May 2013

Cordes achieves a pleasant balance. It's a balance between the commitment, the involvement, of the performers as worshippers on the one hand and the turmoil of the early seventeenth century on the other...If stately, confident and varied music from the German Renaissance appeals or if you want to explore Praetorius' work further, this is CD very well worth a look.
