Carolyn Sampson (soprano), Peter Kooij (bass) & Gerd Türk (tenor) Bach Collegium Japan, Masaaki Suzuki The four cantatas on this recording come from 1726-1727, Bach’s fourth year of service at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. During this time Bach showed a preference for solo cantatas, entrusting the text to a single solo voice. Three of these cantatas are of this type, while the fourth (BWV58) is scored for two voices. “The wonderfully trim and naturally expressive period band and choir, underpinned by an exceptional group of continuo players…. High-quality Bach singing and playing.” The Guardian “A profound 'Ich habe genug' and exquisite singing from Sampson.” Gramophone Magazine, June 2008 “Easily the best-known piece here is Ich habe genug (BWV 82). Peter Kooij's tender, yearning account is more modestly stated than versions by his more extrovert rivals. Gerd Türk, assisted by Suzuki's beautifully shaped phrasing, makes a stronger case for the austere Ich armer Mensch (BWV 55) than any rival version that comes to mind.” BBC Music Magazine, May 2008 ***** | | | In stock - usually despatched within 1 working day. |
