The Missa Venatorum by Giuseppe Antonio Bernabei is a discovery by the musicologist Prof. Dr. Christian Thomas Leitmeir, which he brought to its first edition in 2021. The recording is thus also a world premiere recording of this mass. The juxtaposition with Bach's famous cantata BWV 147 (Heart and Mouth and Deed and Life) creates a tension between two contemporaries who are confessionally far apart but artistically astonishingly close, with regard to church music in the emphatic sense.
