Synopsis

Product Description
In the beginning there was great scepticism towards the thesis Of Joshua Rifkin that Bach s sacred vocal works were originally written for solo voices. Now this interpretation is establishing itself more and more. With this edition of one cantata for each Sunday and the great feasts of the ecclesiastical year Sigiswald Kuijken and his ensemble La Petite Bande want to strengthen this new approach and prove it right by their excellent performances. "Among current cantata series Sigiswald Kuijken s has a distinctive place, his one-to-a-part voices and few instruments achieving striking delicacy. His vocal soloists sing with disarming simplicity and ease in arias, and blend superbly in ensemble. A rare treat, Kuijken and Bach at their very best. (BBC Music Magazine, March 2010, review vol. 9)
