Bach, J S - Cantatas, Vol. 10 - Gardiner, John Eliot (conductor)
GRAMOPHONE EDITOR'S CHOICE ...Though this month sees reviews of three volumes of Bach from Gardiner (two of cantatas and one containing a splendid ‘new’ work, topped up with cantata choruses), this is the winner by any count. It contains seven cantatas recorded in Potsdam and Wittenberg. As with all of Bach’s cantatas, a still under-appreciated swathe of his colossal output, there is incredible invention and imagination on virtually every page. Once again, Gardiner’s Monteverdi Choir is the jewel in the crown of each cantata performance. Add to that, Gardiner’s dramatic, electric response to the music he clearly loves and you have a set that rivals his Classic FM Gramophone Record of the Year Award-winning disc that launched this amazing series...
