Bremen Weser-Renaissance

Bremen Weser-Renaissance is a German early music ensemble celebrated for breathing fresh life into Renaissance and Baroque sacred works. Founded in Bremen and led by conductor Manfred Cordes, the group specializes in historically informed performances of composers like Michael Praetorius, Heinrich Schütz, and Orlando di Lasso, often spotlighting lesser-known gems alongside iconic repertoire. Their recordings, including releases like *Praetorius & Schütz: Sacred Works* and *Lasso: Christmas Motets*, showcase lush vocal harmonies and intricate instrumental textures played on period-accurate instruments. With a knack for unearthing forgotten treasures—like Johann Philipp Förtsch’s radiant *Sacred Concertos & Cantatas*—they’ve carved out a niche as storytellers of the sacred music tradition, blending scholarly rigor with emotional resonance. Whether tackling Morales’ Christmas motets or Schutz’s profound *Musicalische Exequien*, their sound feels both timeless and vividly human.
