ComposerNotes & Reviews:
Johann Eccard was one of the leading sacred composers around 1600, and even today his works are found in well-known collections of Protestant church music. The Northern German Chamber Choir under Maria Jürgensen honors this Thuringian composer on the occasion of the four hundredth anniversary of his death with a recording of his most important choral compositions and his only mass extant in full. In 2005 Maria Jürgensen brought together a dozen experienced choral singers from throughout Germany to found the Northern German Chamber Choir. The choir debuted with Bach's Christmas Oratorio and since then has mastered an extensive repertoire with works from the sixteenth century to the twentieth century.
Gramophone Magazine
An all-Eccard CD is long overdue since his music is woefully under-represented in the catalogue... [The choir's] blended tone is beautifully balanced and caught to perfection by the Dabringhaus und Grimm production team. Maria Jnrgensen keeps everything moving along. Despite lasting just under an hour, this delightful disc really is a gem.
Recording information: Kloster Cismar (10/22/2010-10/24/2010).
