Peter Schreier is one of the legendary tenors of

the twentieth century. The foundation for his

exceptional 60-year career is his intensive

involvement with Protestant church music,

whether as a boy alto of the Dresden Kreuzchor at

a young age, or later as an outstanding evangelist.

The music of Johann Sebastian Bach is the linchpin

of his career.

The tenor is accompanied by the Leipzig

Gewandhaus Orchestra conducted by Erhard

Mauersberger, Johann Sebastian Bach's 14th

successor as cantor of the Thomaskirche in

Leipzig. For the first time, this album is now

released on CD.
