Musica Amphion & Gesualdo Consort Amsterdam 1CD+Book This release is part of the Bach in Context series, a long term collaboration between Musica Amphion and the Gesualdo Consort Amsterdam. It sheds new light on Bach’s magnificent repertoire. The church organ is used as a continuo instrument and there is one voice per part, so that Bach’s sound picture and performing practice is approached as closely as possible. “The Gesualdo Consort Amsterdam benefits from a generous acoustic (perhaps just a little too generous) offering attractive luminosity in the motet-style opening of BWV64 with its colla parte instruments and yet the bathroom acoustic flatters few of the solo contributions in the cantatas. The notable exception lies fairly and squarely with the evergreen Charles Daniels” Gramophone Magazine, September 2012 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Bach - Christmas Cantatas
The three Christmas cantatas brought together here belong to the same period, just after Bach became Cantor of the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. Christum wir sollen loben schon and Sehet, welch' ein Liebe were composed for the second and the third days of Christmas in 1723 respectively, whilst Ich freue mich was composed for the third day of Christmas in 1724.This third cantata is stylistically the latest but all three make use of the cornet and the trombone, instruments that Bach rarely otherwise employed. “Jean Tubéry's rarely as urgent or airborne as Suzuki (BWV 121 and 133) or Koopman (BWV 64) but his wind players are more pungently characterful… And if his tempos are a mite-broader, alert rhythms ensure they never drag. The Namur Choir (16 strong to balance the orchestral forces) sings with conviction...” BBC Music Magazine, February 2008 *** | | | (also available to download from $10.50) | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

| |  | Bach - The Complete Christmas Cantatas
“…a wonderful digest of Bach's unparalleled achievement in this area. The soloists are generally distinguished, and sometimes excellent - tenor Peter Schreier and soprano Arleen Augér both give object lessons in Bach style… Rilling's performances… are neatly tailored and naturally benevolent in nature, buoyant with the wholesomeness and warmth that this great music so frequently emanates. There is simply no better way of celebrating a musical Christmas.” BBC Music Magazine, Christmas 2009 ***** | | | (also available to download from $26.50) | Usually despatched in 2 - 3 working days.
