Album insights
Spanish conductor Pablo Heras-Casado has successfully revitalized the old and lesser-known repertoire with his latest release "Praetorius," now part of the DG catalog. This unique collection features nine motets by the Praetorius trio: Michael, Hieronymus, and Jacob. Delving into the transition from Late Renaissance to Early Baroque, Heras-Casado's passion for 16th and 17th-century choral music shines through. Admirable is his ability to infuse these choir works with both melodic and harmonic simplicity, capturing the essence of human emotion and pleasure in music.
