La Petite Band, Sigiswald Kuijken

The Cantatas BWV 18 and BWV 23 were intended for the two last Sundays before Lent, the “Sexagesima” and “Estomihi” Sundays. In these performances Sigiswald Kuijken follows the thesis that the cantatas were written for solo singers, because Bach very often had no choir at his disposal.

“…a profoundly impressive achievement… liberating performances inhabiting a language of elevated perception and intimacy. Rarely can a single-voiced chorus have sounded so warm and integrated.” Gramophone Magazine, August 2008

Now even more up-to-date: the COMPLETE BACH EDITION. The music by the great J.S. Bach is timeless. Views on the interpretation of his works, however, keep changing and evolving. So the complete Bach Edition is evolving with it.

No less than 9 CD’s of this set have been replaced by new recordings by prominent Bach performers such as the Sixteen, La Stravaganza Köln with Andrew Manze, cellist Jaap ter Linden and Musica Amphion. They play the Weihnachts Oratorium, Orchestral suites, cello solo suites, Brandenburg Concertos and the Concertos for 2 and 3 harpsichords.

This Edition was first issued in 23 installments to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the great J.S. Bach’s passing away. It contains every piece of this, according to many, greatest composer of all times, known at the time.

Including new recordings of all the 200 sacred cantatas on period instruments and sung by a boys’ choir exclusively made for Brilliant Classics. The entire Bach Edition has been very well-received internationally and has become a standard in itself. Tens of thousands of boxes have already been sold.

Now even better quality at a real bargain prize! 155 CD’s in wallets and one CD-Rom with all texts and liner notes in a single space saving box.
