About

Pfleger is unquestionably one of the most fascinating baroque masters of Northern Europe of the seventeenth-century. Embodiying the transition between Schütz and the heritage of Monteverdi on one side, and the music of Buxtehude and later Bach on the other, Pfleger’s music testifies to the musical culture of Northern Europe. Orkester Nord here proposes for the first time a full-length programme set up as one coherent dramatic work, connecting Pfleger’s key cantatas in order to form a continuous narrative, as told through the voices of its recurring protagonists. What emerges is the story of the life of Christ. A fascinating soundscape.

September/October 2021

The singers are superb in enunciation, tonal quality, and interaction with each other. Not a word about their careers, just portraits of the director and singers along with color photos of the sessions in an elegant 132-page booklet. This offering is a unique way of making the music better known, to be sure, but it expands our grasp of this still obscure 17th-century composer.
