| |  | 300th Anniversary of Wilhelm Friedemann BachFirst Recording of Rediscovered Cantatas
Klaus Mertens (bass), Dorothee Mields (soprano), Georg Poplutz (tenor) & Gerhild Romberger (alto) L'Arpa Festante München & Bachchor Mainz, Ralf Otto In 2010 the world is celebrating the 300th anniversary of the birth of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach, whose music – for the most disparate reasons – was for a long time shrouded in oblivion. Many of his works disappeared completely after the Second World War and it was not until 1999 that they were rediscovered in Kiev. The present world-premiere recording of four of his cantatas grants us a fascinating insight into the composer's output and invites us to join him on a musical voyage of discovery. These ambitious works, which were written for Christmas and Ascension, attest to the technical and musical virtuosity of Johann Sebastian Bach's eldest son. Picture Format DVD: NTSC 16:9 Sound Formats DVD: Dolby Digital 5.1., DTS 5.1, PCM Stereo, Region Code: 0 (worldwide) Booklet Notes: Songtexts in German/English/French Running Time: 85:11 Disc Format: DVD 9 FSK: 0 “The Mainz Bach Choir is in every sense a full participant and the instrumentalists of L'Arpa Festante acquit themselves with distinction. The soloists are evenly matched...The collective sense of commitment, even enjoyment, is palpable...On balance, this may just be the best way to get to know a fascinating composer.” Gramophone Magazine, March 2011 | | | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days. |
