About

On the 50th volume of Masaaki Suzuki’s traversal of J.S. Bach’s cantatas features works composed by Bach in collaboration with the Leipzig poet Picander (Christian Friedrich Henrici).

Three of the works on the disc, along with six others, are all that remain of his cantatas written in 1729.

The cantatas here featured generally make sparing use of the choir, but centre on two arias, linked by one or two recitatives, and a final chorale. In addition, the surviving works contain several examples of parody and reuse of earlier instrumental movements as introductions: The opening Sinfonia of BWV 174, uses the first movement of his Third Brandenburg Concerto.

The volume features soprano Hana Blažíková, alongside three other familiar soloists of the series: Robin Blaze (counter-tenor), Gerd Türk (tenor) and Peter Kooij (bass).

Recent releases from the series have received critical acclaim: in International Record Review, where Volume 48 was described as demonstrating ‘the ever-rising standard, by now quite stratospheric, of Suzuki and his choir and orchestra in this massive recording project.’

Reviews

April 2012

the final duet-cum-chorale [of BWV49] is irresistable, with its alluring buoyancy heightened by Suzuki's natural, unforced direction...Robin Blaze is on particularly fine form...Suzuki never courts the visceral edge of John Eliot Gardiner, but he has a flawless integrity, the glorious SACD sound adding a halo of its own.

May 2012

Hana Blazikova delivers a clarion brightness...very much in the elegant Collegium Bach Japan vein: luminosity and purity of sentiment prevailing above an overlaid or projected personality...rugged fervour and brilliance spring off the page here. Another memorable release.

March 2012

Blazikova hardly needs any help from a microphone - the ringing purity of her tone audibly cuts through the choral texture and her solos glint with conentrated tone. She's perhaps too white and glassy for some, but I love it, and she always avoids that glacial dispassion to which some other ultra-focused sopranos succumb...As always, Suzuki fields a strong solo team....Robin Blaze brings his usual elegance and instinctive phrasing
