Heinrich Schütz

Kirsten Gibson surveys recordings of music by 17th-century German composer Heinrich Schütz.

Henrich Schütz is one of the most important composers before JS Bach.

Kirsten Gibson surveys recorded collections of the 17th-century composer and recommends the best one for anyone unfamiliar with his music.
