"Conductor and chorus director Frieder Bernius turns his attention to three of Mendelssohn's settings of Latin text from the Roman Catholic liturgy: Te Deum, Hora est and Ave Maria. A champion of Mendelssohn's choral works ... The Kammerchor Stuttgart has impressive sincerity, clarity of tone and precision. Yet, the precision does not come at the expense of character. This precious quality I believe enhances the effectiveness of this performance. The chorus never loses sight of the intrinsic devotional nature of the sacred texts ... Mendelssohn's glorious settings of sacred Latin text are given inspiring and reverential performances. Without doubt, I enjoyed this album from start to finish".
