Music from Stams Monastery I

The music archive of Stams Monastery is the most important collection of music materials of the Tyrol besides the music collection  of  the  Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum. Preserved in Stams are about 3,000   music   manuscripts and printed works of music, mainly from the second half of the 18th century. Unique is not only the concentration of surviving works but also the excellent state of preservation and  completeness  of  these musical sources. Many of the Tyrol’s important composers are represented with impressive works only in Stams Monastery today. The Tyrolean  music scholar  Walter  Senn  first viewed this archive back in the early 1930s and transcribed many compositions as scores. Some  of  these  works  were documented in the late 1960s by  the  Tyrolean  studio  of the Austrian national radio, ORF. CDs 22 and 23 contain almost all of these important recordings.
