With this set of 12 cantatas, a few of them quite short, Dutch historical-instrument conductor Ton Koopman approaches the end of his monumental traversal of the complete Bach cantata corpus. The cantatas here mostly date from the last two decades of Bach's life. By this time Bach had cantatas from earlier cycles ready for most occasions pertaining ...
Just when you think that Ton Koopman's magnificent cycle of the complete cantatas of Bach can't get any better, on the last disc of the last volume, it does with a reconstruction of Bach's fragmentary Cantata 193 Ihr Tore zu Zion by Koopman himself. After 19 volumes of three discs apiece, Koopman has proved himself to be perhaps the current ...
Brand new Bach! What more does anyone need to hear? Discovered in 2005, the strophic aria Alles mit Gott und nicht ohn' ihn (All things with God and nothing without Him) for soprano with a continuo of lute, organ, and bass, plus a ritornello of two violins and viola, is gloriously ripe Bach from 1713 written for the 52nd birthday of his patron, ...
The 22nd and final volume in Ton Koopman and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and Choir's series of recordings of Bach's cantatas includes two of his final Lutheran cantatas, all four of his short Catholic masses based on movements taken from earlier cantatas, and an early secular version of one of the sacred cantatas plus arrangements of two ...
Since Ton Koopman began recording Bach's complete cantatas in 1994, he has gone through three labels in getting his recordings to the public. First it was Erato, then it was Teldec, and now, finally, Antonie Marchand, the company that has not only completed Koopman's work but reissued the earlier volumes. All this is a wonderful example of ...
CPO's Georg Philipp Telemann: Christmas Oratorio consists of three choral works that come from the last part of Telemann's voluminous oeuvre. The oratorio Die Hirten an der Krippe zu Bethlehem ("The Shepherds at the Crib of Bethlehem") dates from 1759 and has a libretto by poet Karl Wilhelm Ramler, who also contributed the text to Telemann's great ...
When one considers the differences between the Te Deum for soloists, chorus, and orchestra of Carl Heinrich Graun, composed in 1757, and the three motets that round out this album, from between 1721 and 1725, one appreciates the achievements of J.S. Bach all the more -- and not just because Bach was the greater composer. In fact, Bach held Graun's ...
Accent's Telemann: Bass Cantatas is Klaus Mertens' 13th disc of Telemann -- he has recorded oratorios, odes, and numerous cantatas already. Telemann was a baritone, and the high number of works for low voice among his 1,400-plus surviving cantatas indicates that he was composing with his own voice in mind. These four cantatas are performed from ...
Even at their most deeply spiritual, there is a profound humanity to Ton Koopman and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and Choir's recordings of Bach's cantatas that makes them essentially of this world. Take their performance of Was mein Gott will, das g'scheh allzeit (What my God wills, that'll always happen) BWV 111. If there is a typical Bach ...
