A hand-picked ensemble of soloists join together with the Gächinger Kantorei and the Bach-Collegium Stuttgart under the direction of Helmuth Rilling to give a truly definitive performance of this pre-eminent masterwork.

The ensemble makes its point both with the fantasic playing of the wind instruments as well as the virtuosic precision of Dave Holland's bass.

They started out in 1981 as a New York City street band, playing jazz, gospel and classics. Now they're an internationally acclaimed quartet forming a tighly-knit unit with their own distinctive identity, performing both traditional and experimental…

Barbara Thompson has long been acknowledged as the first lady of the sax. Together with her band "Paraphernalia" and Jon Hiseman, she ranks among the world's top Jazz-rock ensembles.

The members of the ensemble are all distinguished soloists who represent a high level of artistry. This is traditional Indian folkloristic music at its purest, presented with a high level of interaction between the musicians.

A live recording from the Festhalle in Bad Urach, in which the fine tenor Peter Schreier, accompanied by Norman Shetler, gives a recital consisting entirely of Beethoven lieder.

Our telecast of the C minor Mass was shot at the Knight's Hall in Wolfegg and shows Helmuth Rilling both in rehearsal and performance.

The film documents an impressive performance from the Schauspielhaus on the Gendarmenmarket in Berlin under the direction of Sir Colin Davis.

Recorded during the "Schwetzinger Festspiele" 1989 in the cathedral of Speyer.

This performance is a very intimate meeting of three great artists of Jazz, featuring music ranging from Argentinian Tango to international musical favourites. Very rarely has the vibrant intensity of a performance been captured with such atmosphere.
