La Chapelle Rhenane/Benoit Haller
The 'Psalms of David', the opus 2 of Heinrich Schütz, constitute genuine symphonies for voices and instruments combined. This offshoot of the polychoral tradition of Giovanni Gabrieli, which Schütz frequented in Venice is interpreted by La Chapelle Rhénane with a refined blend of sonorities, supreme virtuosity and great emotional depth.
