CD Reviews

The best CD of secular cantatas of Bach
Eytan Klausner | Chicagoland area | 06/13/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Bach's secular cantatas are generally less admired than his sacred ones, but still contain much great music. This CD couples two of his best secular cantatas and the performance is excellent. Harnoncourt surpasses even Hogwood on Decca in the performance of peasants' cantata. Those who resist Harnoncourt's use of alto soloists in the sacred cantatas need not hesitate as he is much more appealing and lighter in the secular cantatas and has excellent soloists."
Two 18th Century Princely Court Music
rodboomboom | Dearborn, Michigan United States | 04/29/2003
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Here are two of Bach's compositions for the court of his time, The Hunt Cantata and the Peasant Cantata. They are superbly performed by Concentus Musicus led by Nikolaus Harnoncourt.The vocal soloists are triumphant in the joyity and robustness of these two pieces, especially Robert Holl's fine contributions to the Peasant Cantata as well as the two sopranos (Blasi and Kenny) on the Hunt Cantata.Great to have in one's collections to hear the whole range of work which Bach composed."
