Digipak. Ludwig G?ttler gives a unique overview of European Christmas music culture - Christmas music from different times and regions of Europe - England, Italy, France, Bohemia and Saxony - Famous composers such as Bach, Handel and Vivaldi stand alongside less well-known names such as Vejvanovsk?, Brade or smelter. "It was important for me to gather composers who expressed the European idea, be it in their origins, their education, their travels and their moves to different places of work." - Ludwig G?ttler This is the idea behind the new album by trumpeter and conductor Ludwig G?ttler. The reason for this edition was Christmas, the feast of celebrations, but Ludwig G?ttler would like to refer to something fundamental. Therefore the title "Europa Cantat" - "Europa singt": composers from all over Europe are brought together musically on this edition and thus make the similarities clear on both a musical and lyrical level.
