In the 19th century, the Old Chapel in Regensburg (Ratisbon) was an important center for the rediscovery of “early (a cappella) music” and particularly of the style of Palestrina. This CD documents the renewal of this tradition during the tenure of Prof. Josef Kohlhäufl as musical director of the collegiate church (1984-2011). Included are a number of first recordings, among them the Missa Nos autem gloriari by Francesco Suriano (1549-1621), the Missa de Beata Virgine and motets by Gregor Aichinger (1564-1628), as well as motets by Michael Haller (1840-1915), who is also known as the “19th century Palestrina”.
