Heinichen, please
Italian music has long fascinated German composers, and Johann David Heinichen brought the sounds of Venice to the court of August the Strong in Dresden. We'll hear a cross section of Heinichen's music, from a mass to motets to concertos, with performances by the Dresdener Kammerchor and Musica Antiqua Köln. (But no beer)
