JOHANN WILHELM HERTEL (1727-1789): Der 100 Psalm, Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ, Eine Kirchen-Musik - Zur Feyer des Friedens-Festes, Motets Ich halte dich und will dich nicht lassen and Freuet euch! Daß eure Namen im Himmel geschrieben sind.

Description: Three significant pieces here: the celebratory Psalm 100 of 1780, all brass and timpani-punctuated uplift; the devotional, sometimes severe Ich ruf zu dir, the longest here at over 23 minutes (1774) and a piece celebrating the end of the Seven Years War in 1763 which is essentially an orchestral work of 15 minutes with two choral sections of 1:30 to 2 minutes. If you know Hertel's concerti, you'll know what to expect. German-English texts. Katrin Hüber (soprano), Andreas Weller (Tenor), North German Radio Choir, Mecklenburg Baroque Orchestra; Johannes Moesus.
