Freiberger Silberklang - CD

Freiberg has always been an important cultural location. Already shortly after it's foundation in the twelfth century; as the result of important discoveries of silver ore; culture and music were documented and integral parts of urban life. Freiberg was the second Saxon city to have a band of town waits from which various musical groups were later to evolve. The town's prosperity also made possible the building of large hall churches of which the Cathedral St. Mary numbers even today among the region's most important cultural monuments.
