Synopsis

Amazon.com essential recording

John Eliot Gardiner offers the perfect introduction to two of Bach's most frequently recorded cantatas. The interpretations are spirited and insightful, the performances immaculate, and the clarity of the orchestral texture allows the inner details of Bach's scoring to emerge with radiant effect. The solo vocalists in these 1990 accounts are stylish, the instrumental obbligatos beautifully polished. It is all captured in naturally balanced digital sound. --Ted Libbey

CD Reviews

One of the very best Bach Cantatas recordings

11/02/1998

(5 out of 5 stars)

"A very soft and delicate version of the BWV 140 & 147 Bach Cantatas. Gardiner shows how angels might have sung in the genious' brain ! Tempo is perfect and allows each instrument to be listened and appreciated. Soloists and concertists are equally right in their interpretation. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to discover Bach cantatas as well to good connaisseurs of this music."

MEJOR, KARL RICHTER.

"La lectura que hace Gardiner en estas dos de las más famosas Cantatas de Bach, para mi gusto les falta algo. Entiéndame bien, las encuentro estupendas, bien grabadas, etc. Pero... algo falta, ese "algo" que hace de una buena versión en algo Colosal, la sensación final que encuentro al oír la versión de Karl Richter, es inmensamente superior. De hecho recomiendo a los amantes de las Cantatas de Bach el Set de 75 Cantatas 26 CDS que grabó, Karl Richter para Archiv."
