Barbara Schlick SOPRANO
Andreas Scholl COUNTERTENOR
Christoph Pregardien TENOR
Gotthold Schwarz BASS
Concerto Vocale de Leipzig
Ensemble Baroque de Limoges
Christophe Coin PICCOLO CELLO, CONDUCTOR
Unusually these three church cantatas are accompanied by a cello, which was uncommon, especially in church: in this case the five-string piccolo, fashionable at the start of the 18th century. The key to the originality and coherence of this recording by the Ensemble Baroque de Limoges, with Concerto Vocale Leipzig, is to have approached these works from the instrumental angle.
