Bruhns: Cantatas And Organ Works, Vol.1 Yale Institute Of Sacred Music, Masaaki Suzuki

When he died, Nicolaus Bruhns was just 31 years old, and only twelve of his vocal works and five organ compositions have survived. On the first of two discs made in collaboration with the Yale Institute of Sacred Music, Masaaki Suzuki directs a group of singers and musicians, in six of the vocal works: so-called ‘sacred concertos’ scored for 1 - 3 soloists and various combinations of string instruments with basso continuo.
