Overview

This album presents a kaleidoscope of Christmas-themed brass music—from Giovanni Gabrieli’s Venetian canzonas and Handel’s jubilant choruses to Praetorius’s festive chorales and obscure German Renaissance carols. Ludwig Güttler’s ensemble resurrects these early-music treasures with bright trumpets, sonorous trombones, and resonant tubas, delivering both intimate pastorales and grand ceremonial fanfares for the holiday season.
