S. Bach, the last volume of which, (CC72222), recently received a BBC Music Magazine Award. With this latest release of Vocal Works, (Volume 3), he has now finished his series of recording of the works of Dieterich Buxtehude. As with the two previous volumes he directs the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and Choir and several highly regarded soloists, amongst which are the soprano Johannette Zomer, the alto Bogna Bartosz, the tenor Jörg Dürmüller, and the bass Klaus Mertens. The 2CD set features arias, concertos and cantatas, including two substantial works, “Eins bitte ich vom Herrn“, BuxWV 24, and “Herzlich lieb hab ich dich, o Herr“, BuxWV 41. “A sort of seventh heaven: gorgeous sacred items and joyful wedding music. Koopman's choir is full-toned and well drilled… there is superb balance between solo voice groups in works such as Jesu, meines Lebens Leben (a beautifully paced chaconne). The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra play with simple understatement...” Gramophone Magazine, 2008 Awards Issue “…contains several pieces of outstanding beauty and sterling merit. …the playing and singing… is very good indeed for the most part. Overall, the recording can be warmly commended.” BBC Music Magazine, October 2008 **** |
