Der Tod Jesu

On the occasion of its 40th anniversary Carus has initiated a new series Carus Classics, featuring outstanding CD productions from the past library of recordings. This exclusive collection, designed by Friedrich Forssman and Cornelia Feyll, is presented in high-quality DigiPacs and each CD includes an extensive booklet.

Joseph Martin Kraus' oratorio Der Tod Jesu reflects the visions of new horizons represented by the ‘Sturm und Drang’ era in the second half of the 18th century. The remaining three works on this CD are late works which Kraus composed in the service of King Gustav III at the Swedish Court. This successful recording contains valuable repertoire.
