The nineteenth century was a golden age for choral singing in Germany and Austria. Singing clubs, and later on, choral societies, shot up all over this part of the world. With its goal of stimulation and promotion of German poetry and music, this movement produced a wealth of wonderful vocal music. On Sensucht, The Gents offer a broad selection of music from this unique musical repertoire. The album also celebrates the 10th anniversary of the group and is their first recording with new conductor Beni Csillag.
