Dorothee Mields (soprano), Matthew White (alto), Jan Kobow (tenor) & Peter Kooy (bass) Collegium Vocale Gent, Philippe Herreweghe Bach reserved some of his most elaborate cantatas for worship on the Sunday before the beginning of Lent - and it was for that very day that he composed the cantatas BWV 22 and 23 in 1723, as test pieces destined to gain him the post of Leipzig Kantor. The cantatas BWV 127 and 159 were written for the same Sunday in subsequent years. Lent 2009: Ash Wednesday, 25th February - Palm Sunday, 5th April “…each of these cantatas… contain strikingly expressive music of deep personal commitment and affecting poignancy. Phillippe Herreweghe and his accomplished band get their measure admirably, with eloquent phrasing, fervent declamation and appropriate gravitas. Choosing between the several fine performance currently available is difficult but, in one respect, at least, Herreweghe's recording reigns supreme. It is, for me, the oboe playing of Marcel Ponseele which tips the scales in favour of the newcomer.” BBC Music Magazine, April 2009 **** “What can you say except that Philippe Herreweghe and his Collegium Vocale Gent are the defining interpreters of Bach's vocal and choral works for our time? This is not just a function of skillful exploitation of modern recording
techniques or judicious application of recent scholarship, but largely owes to a particular quality of sound and a unique interpretive sensibility that pervades each performance, informed by this conductor and ensemble's nearly 40-year
collaboration focused predominantly on Bach.” Classics Today 10/10 “This is, above all, a highly atmospheric programme, often overwhelming in content. Herr Jesu Christ wahr' Mensch und Gott (BWV127) is another corker: the opening chorus sublime in its incandescent contrapuntal mastery and then the main aria, "Die Seele ruht", whose funeral bells (through recorders and pizzicato) are beautifully portrayed in Dorothee Mield's brittle but awestruck delivery.” Gramophone Magazine, May 2009 | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |

Sybilla Rubens, Andreas Scholl, Mark Padmore, Sebastian Noack & Michael Volle Collegium Vocale Gent, Philippe Herreweghe 3-CD-Books with full texts, pictures & translations. 2010 marks the fortieth anniversary of Collegium Vocale: founded by Philippe Herreweghe at a time when the Baroque revival was still an affair for specialists, the Belgian choir has been at the very heart of the rediscovery of Bach’s sacred music. Abundantly illustrated and elegantly presented, these nine CD-books will offer the entire benchmark collection of Bach/Herreweghe recordings. The ideal Easter treat. "Herreweghe's pragmatic approach to Bach's large-scale choral works achieves a balance that most Bachians will find ideal...his soloists are outstanding...In place of Ian Bostridge, he has another superlative Evangelist in Mark Padmore...Michael Volle is the noble-sounding Christ."
