The woodcarvings of Tilman Riemenschneider (c. 1460-1531) represent the final and fullest flowering of the Gothic style in Germany. In the artistic fever of the Renaissance his work was swiftly forgotten, but after centuries of neglect his reputation is now firmly restored. On this CD, the world of Riemenschneider is given a musical perspective with a carefully chosen selection of pieces by the finest composers of his time. Inside, Hugh Griffith provides explanatory notes on his life and musical environment.
