This album is a highlight compilation celebrating 50 years of KlosterKonzerte (Monastery Concerts) and 20 years of the edition Kloster Maulbronn.

Interpretation

The performances in the Maulbronn Abbey series, including Handel's 'Joshua', use historically informed performance practices with reconstructed historical instruments tuned to the pitch customary in the composers' lifetimes (a' = 415 Hz for 'Joshua').

The Maulbronn Monastery, a UNESCO World Heritage site, provides an ideal atmosphere for these concerts, particularly with its romantic, candle-lit arches and unique acoustics.
