Andreas Scholl (countertenor)

Kammerorchester Basel

Andreas Scholl follows up his much-praised Purcell collection, ‘O Solitude’ (4782262), with a project perfectly matched to his artistry and musical heritage. Andreas Scholl first sang the music of J. S. Bach as a boy chorister. Now the leading countertenor of our time returns to his musical roots with his own selection of arias from Bach’s cantatas - including one of the best-loved of all Bach’s vocal works, “Ich habe genug”.

“Scholl's typically poised delivery eschew[s] the dramatic stridency to which some countertenors are prone.” The Independent, 6th January 2012 ****

“His relationship with the composer's music remains intense, alert and humble: he has spoken of his own sense of inadequacy in performing works he has known since childhood. Despite being a superstar, the German countertenor's integrity remains intact. His account of Cantata BWV 82, "Ich habe genug" is spellbinding in its expressive simplicity and daringly slow tempi.” The Observer, 8th January 2012

“Scholl imbibed Bach with his mother’s milk, and here he distils the balm of two of the composer’s most intimate, uplifting cantatas, “Ich habe genug” and “Gott soll allein mein Herze haben”. Each underscores Scholl’s stylistic naturalness and lyrical fluency, showcasing the heavenly sostenutos for which he is celebrated – but the disc’s “fillers” are flimsy.” Financial Times, 7th January 2012 ****

“With probably the most beautiful countertenor sound in the world, Andreas Scholl always beguiles the ear. But I found this Bach selection almost soporific in places...Best of all is Schlage doch with, of all things, tinkling bells. But this cantata turns out to be by Georg Melchior Hoffmann, not Bach.” The Times, 7th January 2012 ***

“A coupling of two of Bach’s best-loved solo cantatas...provides a showcase for Andreas Scholl’s delicately refined artistry and ethereally beautiful voice. But his is a dreamily sensual and almost childlike interpretation, devoid of much in the way of spiritual urgency, and the tension slackens in the longer arias.” The Telegraph, 13th January 2012

“Scholl's highly distinctive voice, with its clarity, poise and quiet control, makes it an ideal vehicle for reflective Bach. The gentle rocking of 'Schlummert ein' (from BWV 82) would coax the most anxious 'weary eyes [to] sleep'...In the final, joyful anticipation of death, Scholl's lively facility is exhilarating.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2012 ****

“Scholl's compassionate use of words and melodic sweetness in 'Schlummert ein' is the best recorded work he has produced for years.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2012

Eight Poems of Emily Dickinson


Barbara Hendricks' voice — particularly suited to Mozart, Debussy, Fauré, and the lighter roles of Puccini and Richard Strauss — has a warm, crystalline quality that has kept her in demand on stage and in recording studios. Her performances have embraced everything from contemporary music to popular standards, including songs of Duke Ellington and several world premieres. She has been careful with her choices of repertoire, avoiding roles that would overextend her essentially lyric instrument. Aside from music, she is deeply committed to humanitarian work, with a particular concern for refugees and those in war or poverty zones. She sang a concert in Sarajevo in 1993 while the city was being shelled, in which she had to wear a bulletproof vest and helmet.

Hendricks has appeared on nearly 80 recordings spread over a variety of major labels. Her first of many recordings for EMI was in the small part of the Celestial Voice in Don Carlo in 1978. For nearly twenty years her solo recordings have been made exclusively for EMI Classics.

“This lovely singer is here at her best...she is ideal in the purity and sweetness of her singing.” BBC Music Magazine, December 2010 ****

Jakub Burzynski (conductor & countertenor), Julita Miroslawska (soprano), Mariusz Cyciura (tenor) & Artur Janda (bass baritone)

La Tempesta

J S Bach wrote several cantatas for alto solo, however there is one that is rarely performed or recorded: the alto version of the famous bass cantata Ich habe genug BWV 82. Scored for voice, oboe and strings, the cantata consists of three arias which are completely different in character and expression, with two short recitatives between them.

It was composed for the feast of Purification of Mary (2 February), and its text which incorporates the words of old Simeon to Mary about the coming of the Messiah, concentrates on the subject of welcoming death. Since the feast of Purification was one of the most solemn occasions in the Lutheran liturgical calendar, there is a strong argument in favour of completing the program with figural Latin mass parts, and this recording includes sections from other works in an attempt to re-create music for the full event.

The performers are the period instrument group La Tempesta under the artistic direction of Jakub Burzynski. Burzynski is also an excellent countertenor, and he takes one of the alto parts in this production. Other soloists include the soprano Julita Miroslawska, the tenor Mariusz Cyciura, and bass-baritone Artur Janda.

Gli Angeli Geneve, Stephan MacLeod

German baroque cantatas performed by Geneva-based early music ensemble Gli Angeli Genève under the baton of Stephan MacLeod. Gli Angeli Genève specialises in 17th and 18th century chamber music. The Bruhns and Telemann cantatas are rarely heard or recorded.

Booklet includes full texts which are also available in PDF format by inserting the CD into a PC or Mac

“…Gli Angeli Genève have assembled five magnificent cantatas from contrasting 17th- and 18th-century North German lineages. Telemann's Funeral Cantata is perhaps the greatest surprise for its remarkably affecting text-setting, lightness of touch in its scoring and supreme attention to detail... Gli Angeli's... account reaches the heights in the concluding chorus (is this and the preceding soprano aria as Bachian as Telemann gets?) with that master of the oboe, Marcel Ponseele, as beguiling as ever.” Gramophone Magazine, November 2008
