In his "Tricinia" Caspar Othmayr deals with the deadly sins and opposes each transgression with a composition as an "antidote" (antidote). Othmayr was a student at the University of Heidelberg and founded the circle of the so-called "Heidelberger Liedmeister" together with musician friends. From this grouping arose countless artistic songs around sacred and secular themes, which Georg Forster collected in the Frische Teutschen Liedlein. Accompanied by the viola da gamba ensemble Dryades Consort, the countertenor Franz Vitzthum presents all seven deadly sins and - as an antidote - the corresponding virtues in artful movements from this fund.
