Synopsis

Album Description
While this collection features some inspired rarities by composers centered around Bach's Weimar period, the primary draw is what may well be a first recording of Christoph Graupner's cantata setting of poet Georg Christian Lehms' "Mein Herz schwimmt in Blut" (My heart is bathed in blood), composed two years earlier than Bach's more familiar and justly famous one. This begs the obvious question: Did Graupner's work inspire or in any way influence the master? Listen and decide for yourself!
