JUNGE KANTOREI

The Junge Kantorei was established in 1968 by Joachim Carlos Martini for the Evangelical Church of Hesse and Nassau. The choir has since then won a reputation for its many performances of music in Germany and abroad from the Baroque to the contemporary and has enjoyed a happy collaboration with the Frankfurt Baroque Orchestra. The choir schedule has brought regular participation in festivals of major regional importance, notably the Whit celebrations at Kloster Eberbach im Rheingau and in the church of St Peter in Heidelberg, and has done much to inspire a love of choral singing. The Junge Kantorei has, in particular, given attention to a series of recordings of the work of Handel, including, for Naxos, the oratorios Athalia, Deborah, Saul and Solomon, the ode Alexander’s Feast, and the pasticcio oratorios Nabal, Gideon, and Tobit, compiled by Handel’s pupil and assistant John Christopher Smith.
