Reviews

‘A beguiling and brilliantly conceived programme, brilliantly performed. A special recommendation for a most delightful and unusual disc’ (Gramophone)

‘An engaging programme’ (BBC Music Magazine)

‘A fine example of a concept album that works’ (BBC Record Review)

‘The instrumental tone is very attractive and the standard of playing simply splendid’ (American Record Guide)

‘The Sinfonia to Cantata 29 is vibrant and exhilarating … this is certainly an interesting addition to the Bach catalogue’ (Cathedral Music)

‘Splendid performances … all done with taste and affection’ (Early Music Today)

‘The playing and singing are of course very good indeed’ (Scotland News)

‘This disc is a unique journey through some of Bach’s sacred music, with, as guides, an ensemble which takes an original approach to the music and comes out a winner … This is certainly one of the most interesting ‘derivative’ Bach albums I have heard in a long time’ (MusicWeb International)

Introduction
English

The more private, inward-looking, side to the text is reflected in BWV687, the manualiter setting. The chorale is again at the top of the texture, with the three lower parts providing an accompaniment whose forward-movement contrasts with the granite-like stasis of BWV686. The intensity of spiritual experience reflected in the text is given musical expression in the intense motivic workings, with dense inversions.
