For centuries, Martin Luther's chorales have been not only a pillar of liturgical song, but a source of strength and inspiration for many people and indespensable part of their lives. On this album Christian Sprenger gives Luther's works a symphonic makeover, following in the footsteps of the great film music composers and conveying their emotional message in a way that speaks to us even more directly today. Sprenger himself leads the full-blooded and technically flawless Staatskapelle Weimar on this release.
