Overview
Celebrate the joyous side of Johann Sebastian Bach with this exquisite third volume of his Secular Cantatas, performed by the world-renowned Bach Collegium Japan under the direction of Masaaki Suzuki. This Hybrid SACD features the famous "Wedding Cantata" (Weichet nur, betrübte Schatten), a work of shimmering beauty and optimistic charm, perfectly captured in high-definition DSD audio.
While Bach is often remembered for his sacred masterpieces, his secular works were composed for courtly celebrations, birthdays, and weddings, revealing a more playful and human side of the Baroque master. Featuring the crystalline soprano of Joanne Lunn and the robust baritone of Roderick Williams, this recording offers a "Precision Engineered Performance" that balances historical accuracy with vibrant musicality. Whether you are an audiophile looking for the immersive experience of 5.0 surround sound or a classical enthusiast seeking the definitive interpretation of Bach’s secular output, this BIS Records release is an essential treasure.
Interesting Facts
- The "Wedding Quodlibet": This disc includes the fragment BWV 524, a humorous musical "pastiche" likely written for a family wedding. It provides a rare glimpse into the Bach family's sense of humor, featuring pun-filled lyrics and musical jokes.
- Global Recognition: Masaaki Suzuki and Bach Collegium Japan have been awarded numerous honors, including the Gramophone Award, for their monumental task of recording Bach's complete choral works.
- Hybrid Versatility: Because this is a Hybrid SACD, it contains two separate layers. One layer is a standard CD format that plays on any player, while the other is a high-resolution layer that offers significantly more detail and spatial depth when played on specialized SACD equipment.
- Original Instruments: The ensemble uses period-accurate instruments and performance techniques to recreate the specific textures and colors that Bach would have expected in the 18th century.
