Bach: Cantatas, BWV 82. 83, 125, 200

Editorial Reviews

Marking the 250th anniversary of the composer's death, John Eliot Gardiner's year-long Bach Pilgrimage continues with this program of cantatas for the Feast of the Purification of Mary. The music was written for performance on February 2 in the years 1724, 1725, and 1727, and the album preserves performances given on that same date in the year 2000 in Christchurch Priory, Dorset, England. The live sound has virtually no audience noise and is beautifully balanced, though a touch of harshness is present in the recording of countertenor Robin Tyson. The joy of God's new order in Christ is well expressed in Erfreute Zeit im neuen Bunde, a strong contrast to one of the most darkly beautiful of all Bach's sacred cantatas, Ich habe genug. Here the longing is for the death that will unite the singer with Christ, with bass Peter Harvey powerfully communicating all the required sorrow and passion. Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr dahin combines choir with soloists, and intertwines joy, lament, and resignation in music performed with dignified grandeur. The disc ends with the only surviving movement of cantata BWV 200. --Gary S. Dalkin

5 out of 5 stars Gardiner did such a great job.......2006-01-08

It might be one of the best Bach Cantata recordings I've ever experienced. BWV 82 is well known for classical music listeners. However, I like BWV 83 in this CD cuz it was very well completed through the high level of purity and integrity. Such a smooth and passionate flow makes us touching and leads to the very past which we can feel Bach's era. You won't be disappointed.

5 out of 5 stars Gardiner Reveals!.......2002-02-09

Gardiner's choral conducting needs no introduction: he is simply the very best. Here, as in most of his other recent recordings of Bach's cantatas, he elicits beautiful singing and playing from his forces, breathing new life into these masterpieces. BVW 125 contains an amazing revelation (about which I've heard nothing before -- but perhaps I've been inattentive): Gustav Mahhler built the Der Abshied segment of Das Lied von der Erde on the "Ich will auch mit gebrochnen Augen" aria in this work! I knew that, before composing Das Lied, Mahler was restudying Bach, but I had no idea how closley he modelled the most moving part of Das Lied (the Der Abshied melody motiff, harmony, voicing and tempo)on what Bach wrote long before him in this aria. Amazing stuff!
