Augustin Pfleger: Life And Passion Of The Christ

AUGUSTIN PFLEGER: LIFE & PASSION OF THE CHRIST - Augustin Pfleger from the Bohemian town of Schlackenwerth (today: Ostrov) was court kapellmeister in Güstrow in Mecklenburg and in Gottorf Palace in Schleswig-Holstein. Among the baroque masters he is one of the lesser known. His compositional work can be located between Schütz and Monteverdi on the one hand and Buxtehude and Bach on the other. - The Norwegian conductor Martin Wåhlberg, together with the Trondheim ensembles Vox Nidrosiensis and Orkester Nord, has selected six cantatas from Pfleger's extensive oeuvre, which dramaturgically combine to form a Passion oratorio. 2021 release.
