The phenomenal choir of the Southwest German Radio, the Vokalensemble Stuttgart, shows here that their experitise is in no way limited to the earstretching demands of the Avant Garde, but they are equally at home with the glorious traditions of Germanic Romanticism.
Bruckner took great care in his choral setting of sacred texts, providing tham with reverent, heart-felt musical settings. It is easy to understand the overwhelming success Bruckner enjoyed as a composer of choral music.
