FULL RANGE OF BACH'S GENIUS DISPLAYED IN THESE RECORDINGS!
To title these CD's simply as 'Magnificat' is inadequate, to say the least. For it contains over 152 minutes of music and covers a wide range of Bach's liturgical music. On these two CDs Stephen Cleobury has assembled a performing group that includes five top-drawer vocal soloists,one of the world's finest choirs,and a world-renown chamber ensemble performing the works of one of the greatest musical geniuses of all time. And the final result is an absolutely superb recording.
What makes this compilation significan is HOW it brings together the ethereal sound of the excellent King's College Choir of men and boys and the period instruments of the Academy of Ancient Music. Their 150 minutes of music, spanning major portions of Bach's musical career and offering outstanding examples of his first compositions, is about as close to artistic perfection as one gets. The 2 CD program of Bach cantatas, cantata excerpts, motets, chorales, and organ works has been wisely chosen to showcase the strengths of Choir, Sololists and instrumentalists. The album is accompanied by insightful program notes and text translations to assist the listener.
CD1 opens with Cantata BWV140 "Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme";then follows and arrangement for organ from an aria in Cantata 137 "Kommst du nun, Jesu"; a chorale from Cantata 22 "Ertot uns durch dein' Gute"; then the well-known and loved "Magnificat in D" with its lovely 'Et Misericordia' sung with exquisite sensitivity by the countertenor(Michael Chance & tenor (Ian Bostridge); "Air from Suite #3 in D" organ; 4 part motet "Lobet den Herrn, ale Heiden"; chorale "O Jesulein suis"; and closes with the well-known "In dulci jubilo".
CD 2 opens with "Missa brevis in A" BWV234; "Sanctus in C237; the well known "Jesus bleibet meine Freude" BWV147; "Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen,Zagen" BWV12 a complete cantata; "Der Geist hilft unsrer Schwacheit auf" BWV226 cantata; "Liebster Jesu,wir sind hier"BWV373 a chorale; an organ work "Prelude and Fugue in G" well-knownBWV541; closing with the much loved chorale "Nun Danket alle Gott" BWV386.
The five vocal soloists are outstanding, particularly in the large works, such as the 'Magnificat' and the Missa Brevis in A. Kings' College Choir and the Academy of Ancient Music are perfectly balanced, blended and polished. These discs are of the highest standard and display the full range of Bach's genius.
Bach - Magnificat / Gritton ? Chance ? Bostridge ? George ? AAM ? The Choir of Kings College Cambridge ? Cleobury Poster
With various record labels compiling complete works to commemorate the 250th anniversary of the death of Bach, EMI's more accessible approach is this luxurious anthology of the Baroque master's sacred music. Over two and a half hours, this program encompasses the grand scale of the Magnificat in D (BWV 243) and Missa Brevis in A (BWV 234). Between these are scared cantatas, the very popular choral Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (BWV 140) contrasting with sensitive solo vocal writing in Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen (BWV 12); motets; arias; and an organ prelude and fugue. It's a well-balanced program, covering every aspect of Bach's church music except the Passions.The interesting booklet recounts King's College Choir's long involvement with the music of Bach, while the Academy of Ancient Music are thoroughly versed in this repertoire. The two ensembles produce a glorious sound. The soloists are of the very highest caliber, with Ian Bostridge, Michael Chance, Michael George, Susan Gritton, and Lisa Milne bringing great humanity to this incomparable music. Magnificat's uncompromising quality will satisfy the serious collector while providing a thoroughly rewarding introduction to Bach's great sacred music for a wider audience. --Gary S. Dalkin
