Ruth Holton, Sally Bruce Payne, Lucy Ballard, Charles Humphries, James Gilchrist & Peter Harvey The Monteverdi Choir & The English Baroque Soloists, John Eliot Gardiner The final volume to be released this year in John Eliot Gardiner’s award-winning Bach cantata pilgrimage series on SDG. Recorded in January 2000 within the grand neo-Gothic Gethsemanekirche in Prenzlauer Berg, Berlin, the programme features Cantatas for New Year’s Day and for the Sunday after New Year. In contrast to the modest BWV 143 Lobe den Herrn, meine Seele II that opens the programme, Bach begins BWV 41 Jesu, nun sei gepreiset with the fantastically grand opening chorus, Jesu, nun sei gepreiset. The jewel in this particular cantata is the tenor aria ‘Woferne du den edlen Frieden’ (No.4), wonderfully rich and descriptive. BWV 171 Gott, wie dein Name, so ist auch dein Ruhm is equally magnificent as a cantata replete with emotional and thematic contrast. As the tenor (No.4) pleads for salvation in BWV 153 Schau, lieber Gott, wie meine Feind, crying ‘…help, Helper, help! Save my soul!’, we are reminded that our afflictions have been heard as the alto (No.8) sings of the ‘blessed rapture and eternal joy’ of heaven. BWV 58 Ach Gott, wie manches Herzeleid II continues this theme of the beleaguered Christian. This is beautifully illustrated through the use of the distressed, persecuted soul (soprano) in dialogue with a guardian angel, by implication, Jesus (bass). |

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No less than 9 CD’s of this set have been replaced by new recordings by prominent Bach performers such as the Sixteen, La Stravaganza Köln with Andrew Manze, cellist Jaap ter Linden and Musica Amphion.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. | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
