After returning from studies with Monteverdi in Venice, Heinrich Schütz, the greatest German composer of the seventeenth century, established his career in Dresden. As Kapellmeister at the Elector’s court, he created a musical style which is as innovative as it is traditional, as beautiful as it is austere. We showcase the range of his musical style from the expressive Musicalische Exequien to the sonorous textures of his colourful psalms.
