Johann Valentin Meder

Lauda Jerusalem Dominum

Quid est hoc quod sentio

Ach Herr, mich armen Sünder

Gott, mein Herz ist bereit

Die höllische Schlange darf nimmer uns beißen

Wünschet Jerusalem Glück

Vox mitte clamorem

Wie murren denn die Leut’ im Leben also?

Meine Seele seutzt und stöhnet (Andächtige Communion-Musique)

Gott, du bist derselbe mein König

The Goldberg Baroque Ensemble from Gdansk, conducted by Andrzej Szadejko, presented an amazing selection of sacred music (Dabringhaus and Grimm) by Medera as part of the Musica Baltica series. The externalized, modest passion cantata “Ach, Herr, mich armen Sunder,” which approaches the best works of Dieterich Buxtehude, is also included, as is the musical celebration of Jesus’ mystical love “Vox mitte clamorem,” which simply overflows with a dance-like, thoroughly Italian sensuality. An addition by Anu Schaper informs us about the Turin master that made its way to Riga and Tallinn. A true discovery! – Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
