What we have here, ladies and gentlemen, is that rarest of rare things: a genuine world-premiere recording of a piece by Johann Sebastian Bach appropriately entitled Alles mit Gott und nichts ohn' (All with Got and Nothing Without). A single-movement cantata setting of a birthday ode for Duke Wilhelm Ernst of Saxe-Weimar composed in 1713, the work ...
Even at their most celebratory, John Eliot Gardiner's performances of Bach's cantatas are essentially very personal. In this two-disc set of seven cantatas for the Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity and for the Feast of St. Michael and All Angels, Gardiner and his English Baroque Soloists and Monteverdi Choir deliver performances that have an inward, ...
Robert King may have planned to end his series of recordings of the sacred music of Vivaldi with his grandest and most popular piece of sacred music, the Gloria, RV 589, but he couldn't have planned to end it with Vivaldi's Nisi Dominus, RV 803, because when the series began, the Nisi Dominus had not yet been found hidden among the Galuppi sacred ...
In this, the sixth volume of John Eliot Gardiner's Bach cantata pilgrimage, Gardiner, the Monteverdi Choir, the English Baroque Soloists, and soloists present three cantatas for the Twelfth Sunday after Trinity (recorded live in the Jakobskirche in Köthen on September 10, 2000) and three cantatas for the Thirteenth Sunday after Trinity (recorded a ...
The "Bach Pilgrimage" of conductor John Eliot Gardiner, with his English Baroque Soloists and Monteverdi Choir, was among a most ambitious musical project: a concert tour devoted to Bach's complete church cantatas, played on historical instruments, matched to the liturgical year in something like real time, and passing through the cities where ...
The small chorus that calls itself the Sixteen, together with its director Harry Christophers, has made numerous exemplary recordings of Renaissance and Baroque choral works, recording the music on its own Coro label and presenting it in compelling ways. The group doesn't have the purity of other Renaissance choirs, nor the power of other Baroque ...
Are these the best, the deepest, the profoundest -- in a word, the greatest -- recordings of these four Bach cantatas ever made? What a silly question! Indeed, what an utterly beside-the-point question and surely a question that neither the conductor, the performers, or even the composer would ever have thought to ask. The real question is: are ...
This album, originally released in 2002, went relatively quickly to Hyperion's budget line Helios. Perhaps sales were hurt because Antoine Busnois isn't really a Renaissance big name like Josquin, whose music certainly shows his influence. In any event, if you missed the album the first time around, it remains a very nice program of sacred music ...
The Bach cantata pilgrimage of conductor John Eliot Gardiner, with his Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists, began on Christmas of 1999 and continued through the year 2000. At first the musicians retraced some of Bach's steps through northern Germany, then performed in a variety of churches in England and northwestern Europe, matching the ...
Aside from the gargantuan logistical problems of moving a chamber orchestra, chorus, soloists, and conductor, plus recording equipment with engineers and producers every week, the aesthetic challenges of John Eliot Gardiner's Bach cantata pilgrimage must have been colossal. Imagine: every week the musicians had to prepare and present three or more ...
