The Carus Classics series features outstanding CD productions from Carus' past library of recordings. The series has been designed exclusively by the well-known graphic artists Friedrich Forssman und Cornelia Feyll. The Philharmonia Chor Stuttgart under the direction of Helmut Wolf presents sacred vocal music from two highly gifted female composers: Formally, Fanny Hensel's Oratorio to words from the Bible is reminiscent of Bach and Handel, whereas it displays the clear tonal language of the early Romantic era. The two imposing psalms by Lili Boulanger are characterized by an impressive array of sound and by a moving intensity.
