The headline attraction is Biber’s Vespers, just one of three cycles contained in a large publication of music for the court of the Prince Archbishop of Salzburg, although the programme is fleshed out using four relatively intimate motets from Kerll’s Delectus sacrarum cantionum (Munich, 1669). Cantus Cölln’s performances ebb and flow masterfully through Biber’s declamatory and astonishingly concise psalm settings, such as the rapid ‘Nisi Dominus’, constructed cleverly over a perpetually moving descending basso continuo line.
