Bach: Cantatas Vol. 11

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
The four cantatas on this release--volume 11 in the Bach Collegium Japan's survey of Bach's sacred music--aren't well known, even among Bach lovers. But fans probably will recognize some of the music: for example, Bach subsequently adapted the rollicking opening chorus of BWV 136, Erforsche mich, Gott, for the finale of his "Lutheran" Mass in A; the melancholy title chorus of BWV 46, Schauet doch und sehet ("Behold and see"), became "Qui tollis peccata mundi" in the Mass in B Minor. Surprises of recognition like these are always enjoyable, of course, but there are plenty of unfamiliar delights on this disc, too. For instance, there's an unusual format: two works, BWV 138 and BWV 95, lack the elaborate chorus that typically begins a Bach cantata; they consist mostly of passages of recitative (arioso, really) intercut with lines of a chorale melody in a sort of dialogue. A number of other nice surprises involve Bach's ingenious use of instruments. For example, that jolly chorus in BWV 136 features a bravura part for corno da tirarsi (slide horn), an instrument that BCJ brass expert Toshio Shimada reconstructed himself for this recording. The arioso-chorale "dialogue" in BWV 138 has a pair of oboes twisting their notes around the singers' parts like decorative vines; in BWV 195 those oboes join the tenor in a graceful aria as pizzicato strings flutter softly around them. BWV 46 has two recorders swirling through the disconsolate opening chorus; later on, there's an alto aria without strings or continuo--it calls for only those two recorders, with the oboes playing a "walking" bass line in unison. (By the way, countertenor Kai Wessel sounds notably more confident and less hoot-y there than in the alto aria of BWV 136.) Finally, more bravos go to Peter Kooy, who tosses off two coloratura bass arias with confidence and gusto. --Matthew Westphal

    One of the best cantata disks yet to appear. Have you listened to the pizzicato aria in BWV 95? ("Ach, schlage doch bald") Also, the greatest ever baroque oboe player, Marcel Ponseele is on this disk, who further raises the listening experience to awsome heights...

      5 out of 5 stars The first sacred cantatas whole performance by two geniuses.......1999-05-18

      Harnoncourt & Leonhardt opened new frontiers to Bach's choral music by this complete performance of nearly two hundred sacred cantatas. Superb performance, played following what the research suggests it was performed in Bach's time, and great singers. The most striking thing to me is the use of children for soprano parts, which seems the most appropriate rendering of this music.

      Because it was recorded in the late seventies and eighties, the sound quality is clearly surpassed by today recordings, but the overall result (I think) is still the best.

      Absolutely recommended!

          These nine cantatas--performed here as part of Ton Koopman's complete series for Erato--were written in 1724-25, during Bach's second year in Leipzig, for specific feast days of the Church calendar. All are constructed on the same plan: an opening contrapuntal chorus supported by full orchestra; recitatives and often florid arias, many partnered by solo wind and string instruments; and a simple closing chorale. The texts, by unknown authors, are literary dross, which Bach miraculously turned into musical gold. However, even Bach, under constant pressure of time and work, could not always write music of unvaryingly high quality, and these cantatas seem to grow in substance, cohesion, depth, and expressiveness.

          The first three (CD 1) are somewhat elusive and unsettled--dark, fearful, and death-oriented--but they always end in a serene, resigned chorale. The mood changes on CD 2 in a cantata for the New Year, which is serene, full of thanks, hope, and prayers, and opens and closes with brilliant trumpets and drums. The next, for the Feast of St. John the Baptist, extols the mystery of baptism; it is followed by a hymn of praise, gratitude, and love. From here on, the music bears the stamp of Bach at his greatest and most glorious. Of the last three cantatas, one is in Bach's special key of B minor. All offer warm reassurances of God's grace and mercy and overflow with wonderful instrumental solos, grand orchestral writing, complex dramatic choruses, and meltingly beautiful arias. The singing and playing are exemplary: pure in sound, transparent in texture, and deeply expressive, with moderate, expansive, yet flowing tempos. --Edith Eisler

          5 out of 5 stars Koopman Continues Excellence.......2001-05-12

          Volume 11 of the Koopman Bach Cantata Series confirms what many of us in early music already believe; this CD series will become a standard of excellence in early music discography. I hope when all 20 volumes are finished and pressed, we will be wise enough to break the proverbial mold for recording Bach cantatas. Inconsistency can be the bane of any long reaching project, yet Volume 11 never disappointed me. In fact, if possible, it may be better than a good number of previous volumes. Koopman continues to fuse historically accurate and informed performances with virtuosity, spiritual and symbolic appropriateness to each individual movement, and personal expression in this CD project. Even though these are choral music CDs, the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra may actually be its strength. Solo violin Margaret Faultless lived up to her last name in BWV 7 and 139. The venerable Wilbert Hazelzet played youthful virtuoso flute parts in BWV 94. Steven Keavy played the trumpet parts in BWV 5 and 41 with "laser-lock" accuracy. The continuo playing kept my interest throughout the vocal solos. The vocal soloists sound "upgraded" from some of the previous volume. Christoph Pregardien may be the best early music tenor today, as displayed in BWV 139. Excellent readings by Sibylla Rubens, soprano, and Klaus Mertens, bass, reminded me of Emma Kirby and Max van Egmond, respectively. I enjoyed the depth and expression of alto Annette Markert, but would prefer Koopman to use a countertenor for the alto solos. The choir sang with precision. The blend in the sopranos is better in this volume than previous ones. The basses displayed good presence and the use of mixed gender in the altos bonded with the sound of the tenors. As always in this series, program notes by Christoph Wolff, the world's leading Bach scholar, were comprehensive and interesting reading. One complaint: this is the third volume out of the eleven where the hinge on the CD jewel box has broken with ordinary use. You would think Erato would spend a nickel more on having a higher quality jewel box for a fifty dollar product.
