Album Description
Available in:
Distributor of this disc, INTERSOUND is a Roswell, GA. based outfit. Their "Quintessence" series from the early '90s features budget priced all-DDD transfers of well known classical music, what's often referred to as "everyman classics." (Note: this is NOT a PROARTE product.)

Best-known are an excerpt from Vivaldi's "Four Seasons," the allegro assai of Bach's "Brandenburg Concerto #2," his "Arioso" and "Jesu" and Praetorius's "Boureé." The St. Louis Brass and Camerata Romana are competent musicians who perform flawlessly here-- often with molto brio.

TOTAL PLAYING TIME: 39:46

JOHANN JOSEPH FUX (1660-1741)
This theorist's treatise on counterpoint remains an essential part of classical music curricula.

MICHAEL PRAETORIUS (1571-1621)
This author/composer/organist wrote music based on Protestant hymns.

SAMUEL SCHEIDT (1587-1654)
Northern German teacher, composer/organist of the early Baroque era.
