This is an outstanding recording that does full justice to the beauty of German pre-Bach song. Scholl is unparalleled in the subtle way he treats every single song. The listener gets carried away by the different moods the tunes carry: once brooding and sad, other times very exuberant and full of joy. Having grown up with the music of Schutz and Buxtehude in a northern German medieval town, I have heard many weak renderings of this music that do not do justice to its inherent pious beauty. Scholl lets it sparkle and shine the way it deserves to be sung.
