Hammerschmidt/ Scarlattisti/ Arnold - Machet Die Tore Weit

There is uncertainty about precisely which year, but 2011/2012 sees the 400th anniversary of the birth of Andreas Hammerschmidt, one of the most important masters of the early German Baroque. This CD, with the ensemble Gli Scarlattisti, presents Andreas Hammerschmidt's vocal compositions for Advent in a thematic and theologically-liturgically arranged sequence.
