Ensemble Fama - Augsburger Weihnacht

A festive christmas concert of motets, songs and instrumental settings by composers Hans Leo Hassler,Thomas Eisenhuet and Johann Erasmus Kindermann, performed by Ensemble Fama. A 17th century Christmas night in Augsburg.

It is part and parcel of the close relationship to Augsburg shared by all of the featured composers that the concerns of both Christian faiths, theCatholic and the Protestant, are taken into account in their music.The music as such was considered to be above and beyond denomination .
