Background: Paul McCreesh has recorded 'A Requiem for Biber' to celebrate the 300th anniversary of the death of Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber. This beautiful programme combines two sacred choral works by the great Austrian Baroque composer with pieces by other composers from the court in Salzburg and two antiphons by Orlando di Lasso.

The Requiem in F minor is quite a contrast to later settings of the Requiem text. Biber hardly uses any dramatic effects but has written music richly expressive in harmony and melody, full of atmosphere, dignity and consolation.
