Sensational masterpieces in miniature form: The motets of Homilius can be described as the most important historical contribution to this genre between those of Bach and Mendelssohn. This recording certainly contributes towards placing the long-forgotten works by this composer and once highly-acclaimed Dresdner Kreuzkirche Kantor in the limelight again. “This CD is an absolute must [at least] for ever lover of choir music. … That the music of the CD can, at times, unfold with such a lasting, outright magical effect, lies naturally not solely on the music itself, but also on the masterful interpretation: Frieder Bernius has intentionally refrained from using any instruments inorder to achieve the purest interpretation possible.”
