Festive brass playing and chorale singing have gone hand in hand for centuries—yet rarely as vividly and colorfully as here: On their album, trombonist Christian Sprenger and genesis brass trace a line from the chorales of Martin Luther and his contemporaries to the present day. At its core are sonorous fantasias on familiar and newly rediscovered melodies, complemented by new compositions and arrangements by Christian Sprenger and Anne Weckeßer. A versatile repertoire emerges that bridges tradition and modernity and is well-suited to performance.
