The Carus Classics series feature outstanding CD productions from Carus’ past library of recordings. This selection of Brahms’ sacred choral music shows a clear line of development from the early works, such as the songlike Ave Maria, to the later and progressively contrapuntal masterwork motets, clear evidence of the composer’s brilliance at motivic variation. The esteemed British conductor Roger Norrington leads the Schütz Choir of London.
