The Swiss Baroque composer Johann Melchior Gletle's motets are among the most notable music to survive from that era. Although Gletle's musical background and much of his biography is obscured in the mists of passing centuries, it is known that Gletle produced an extensive collection of works. The ensemble Musica Fiorita has recorded selections of the motets of Gletle previously but with "Motets, Opus 4", they've amassed the entirety of Gletle's motet oeuvre in a 4 CD box set. With multiple hues coloring the instrumental spectrum and the virtuosity of the vocal and instrumental parts, Gletle's legacy is rediscovered in this spotlight collection from one of the finer Baroque ensembles today.
