Highly regarded as a composer, and a much sought after teacher of composition, Joseph Gabriel Rheinberger [1839 1901] was of great importance, with European stature. His more than 200 sacred works represent a significant contribution to church music of the 19th century. For many years Carus has made a name for itself through the rediscovery of this musical treasure. The basis for the CD series “Musica Sacra” is the Complete Edition of Rheinberger’s works, which has also been published by Carus. In addition to three motets, the present CD in this series also contains Rheinberger’s final, unfinished setting of the Mass composed in the year of his death; itincludes the Credo, which was reconstructed using his sketches. The works on this CD, performed by Georg Grün with his KammerChor Saarbrücken, are primarily world premiere recordings.
