Showrunners Alex Potter and Benjamin Lyko let Schütz student David Pohle’s love songs sound with sophistication.
Equal-voiced duets are rather rare and have always had a certain exotic appeal. Love duets with two models are even rarer — and even more bizarre. But the enchanting love songs of David Buhle instantly captivate the listener. Singers Benjamin Lecco and Alex Potter create a seductive, colorful and expressive sophistication accompanied by an egbaroque ensemble (violins, violins, lutes, guitars, records, percussion, harpsichord, organ) under the direction of Clemens Flick. Born in 1624, Bohle was musically trained by Heinrich Schütz in Dresden and worked in Kassel, Schleswig, Weissenfels, Zietz, and finally in Merseburg, where he died in 1695. His sacred and secular vocal works are delivered only in manuscript form, many of which have been lost. So this CD is a real treasure!
