Christine Schäfer ~ Bach - Wedding Cantatas / Musica Antiqua Köln · Reinhard Goebel
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Christine Schäfer's bright, silvery soprano is a perfect vehicle for these solo cantatas. The adventurous Musica Antiqua Köln supports her in lively readings, full of spirit and animation. Schäfer sails through the technical demands with ease, but she also brings a welcome warmth and sensitivity to the texts. Some of the movements are taken at a clip that may surprise, but the performers bring it off with aplomb. The familiar Cantata No. 51 actually isn't a wedding cantata, but its joyous spirit fits the mood, so it's welcome all the same, especially in a performance of such agility and precision. The cutesy packaging is unnecessary (the disc's sleeve has a heart-shaped centerpiece)--but who cares when everything else is so good? --Dan Davis
