Motets by Bruckner & Haydn
Anton Bruckner & Michael Haydn: Motets
Studio Recording
February 2020 in Leipzig, Germany
featuring the MDR-Rundfunkchor & conductor Philipp Ahmann
While Anton Bruckner may be the more recognizable composer of liturgical works, the influence of Michael Haydn’s sacred choral works on Bruckner’s compositions is immense, even generations later. Thanks to the artistry of the MDR-Rundfunkchor, we can hear this for ourselves. SFCRC’s studio recording from the Paul-Gehardt-Kirche in Leipzig showcases chief conductor Phillip Ahmann’s thoughtful juxtaposition of the two composers’ various motets.
