Product Description
From Amazon.com
One happy byproduct of the Bach 2000 celebrations has been the examination of Bach's musical roots in 17th-century Germany and the rediscovery of talented composers from the generations between Heinrich Schütz and J.S. Bach. Philippe Herreweghe is one of the most respected Bach conductors in the world; this release is his contribution to that musical reexamination. The six brief cantatas on this disc are relatively small-scaled--all are for singers with a small ensemble of strings--and they tend toward the contemplative rather than the extroverted. Even Franz Tunder's cantata on Luther's famous chorale "Ein feste Burg" ("A mighty fortress is our God") seems fairly serene, without the triumphal aspect that Bach gave the tune in his Cantata BWV 80. These works sound rather more like Schütz (a rhetorical, almost madrigalesque style) than Bach (dense counterpoint)--although Gott, sei mir gnädig by Johann Kuhnau (Bach's predecessor in Leipzig) closes with a fugal chorus that could almost pass for Handel. Herreweghe's musicians perform as admirably as always; however, the Schütz-like text-centered quality in the music seems to suit a solo-voice consort better than 14-voice choir Herreweghe uses here. Indeed, in the latest of these cantatas, Christoph Graupner's Herr, die Wasserströme (full of storm imagery), it seems Herreweghe is holding back a bit--he can't let his choir rip the way an ensemble of soloists such as Cantus Cölln could. It's a bit ironic, really, in that the six soloists are all marvelous: while this is a very good recording, it could have been much better had Herreweghe saved the money he paid his choristers. --Matthew Westphal
Chronique amazon.fr
Dans ce voyage autour des compositeurs d'avant Bach, on redécouvre des musiciens du XVIIe siècle injustement oubliés. Franz Tunder, élève de Frescobaldi, fut le beau-père de Buxtehude, lui-même professeur de Bach… Ses cantates sont superbes de tension et de religiosité. Nikolaus Bruhns, également disciple de Buxtehude, fut un fantastique virtuose de son temps. Kuhnau fut le prédécesseur de Bach, comme Cantor à Leipzig. Christoph Graupner, élève de Kuhnau, produisit un nombre impressionnant d'opéras avant de se consacrer à la musique religieuse. Le Collegium Vocale caractérise chaque style d'écriture, tout en reliant ces personnalités à la grande figure à venir : Bach. Un disque d'autant plus précieux qu'il réunit des solistes tels que Deborah York, Susan Hamilton, Peter Kooy… --Maxim Lawrence

My favorite Herreweghe cd,
By Lukas Hodorovsky - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Before Bach German Cantatas (Audio CD)
I purchased this cd a while back and have listened to it relentlessly. The lyrical quality of the album is just fantastic, particularly the tremendously skillful interplay among vocalists. I hate too much vabratto in singing, that is so prevalent among many artists. You won't find that here, just heart wrenching harmonies. Deborah York stands out as a north star in what seems a milk way galaxy of artists on this album. The control and precision if her voice is just amazing. She has a truely inspired ability to change pitch and dynamics on hair and not show a sign of strain. I generally listen to cantus colln because they perform period music not record elsewhere. I could only hope for this quality of vocals from them. If you enjoy music from this period then give this album a listen and you won't regret it.
