Musica Sacra
Johann Caspar Ferdinand Fischer was Hofkapellmeister at the Court of the Margrave of Baden in Rastatt from 1715 until his death in 1746. He was the most important musician of the Hofkapelle in Rastatt. With the present recording by the Rastatter Hofkapelle, conducted by Jürgen Ochs, a broad document of Fischer’s church music is now available. Most of the works are world-premiere recordings. A real discovery!

Ensemble
Rastatter Hofkapelle
The Rastatter Hofkapelle was formed along the lines of the original court orchestra and is made up of eight solo singers plus instrumentalists. The aim of the ensemble is to perform the sacred music of the former court music directors in Rastatt and the works of other Baroque composers, observing historical performance practice. More exact information concerning the makeup of the court orchestra is to be found in a court calendar of 1764. According to this source, it consisted of the music director, the concert master, an organist, seven singers and 19 instrumentalists, as well as four trumpeters and a timpanist. All of the members of the Rastatter Hofkapelle are active both as soloists and as members of distinguished professional ensembles concerned with the interpretation of early music. Personal details
