Award for Les Passions de l'Âme
The latest CD by Les Passions de l'Âme, "The Rosary Sonatas", has been awarded a CHOC de l'année by the French specialist magazine Classica.
Meret Lüthi and her long-standing continuo team recorded the demanding cycle of "Rosary Sonatas" by Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber (1644 - 1704) on period instruments and in Dolby Atmos format. Together with the lavishly designed booklet, the recording provides an insight into the sound world of the late 17th century and the interpretation process. The CD was produced in collaboration with Bayerischer Rundfunk and released under the Swiss label Prospero.
Classica is a monthly French magazine for classical music and a partner of Radio Classique, Victoires de la Musique, the Grand Prix Lycéen des Compositeurs, Mezzo TV and Fnac. The Choc de Classica honors outstanding recordings every month, with a Choc de l'année awarded to the best at the end of the year.
