This compilation brings together highlights from a cycle of Handel oratorios and masses, recorded in concert between 1998 and 2008 at the Maulbronn Monastery, a UNESCO world cultural heritage site. Under the direction of Jürgen Budday, the series combines authentic presentations with the optimal acoustics and atmosphere of the unique monastery, recorded live direct to two-track stereo digital. Performers, audience, opus and venue enter into an intimate dialogue that in its form, expression and atmosphere, is unique and unrepeatable.
