"Him alone did they call the Father of all musicians, to whom the Germans were indebted for enabling them now to bring music to a standard equal to that of the Italians, if not even higher". So wrote Johann Mattheson in 1740 in praise of Heinrich Schutz (1585-1672), the most revered German musician of his generation. On this release the ensemble inAlto presents works by Schutz himself, but also by some of his students, which show why Schutz was such a good teacher, who handed on his talent to the following generation. Some of these puils include David Pohle, Johann Theile, Matthias Weckmann, Christoph Bernhard, Johann Vierdanck, Vincenzo Albrici, and others. Schutz no doubt left an indelible mark upon the German composition tradition.
