Masaaki Suzuki and his Bach Collegium Japan have taken a short break from Bach’s cantatas in order to record the same composer’s Motets. Although few in number, these include such well-loved works as Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied and Jesu, meine Freude. Remarkable for their expressiveness and beauty as well as for Bach’s virtuoso choral writing, most of the motets leave it open to the interpreters to perform them either a cappella or with instruments doubling the vocal parts. Masaaki Suzuki has opted for the latter alternative, and accompaniments range from a single organ, to strings and different combinations of strings and wind instruments. But nevertheless it is the singers of the Bach Collegium Japan that stand in the limelight here – and as followers of the Cantata series will already know, it is a marvellous choir. With regard to their recording of Bach’s B minor Mass, the reviewer in Diapason called them ‘a choir to dream of’, while his colleague in Fono Forum, when writing about the Easter and Ascension Oratorios, described them as ‘16 singers, who sing with such clarity and flexibility that choral fullness of sound, soloistic virtuosity and transparency seem to merge, and this to a degree that one does not find in any European ensemble.’ In view of the fact that several of the works are composed for double choir, the usual 16-member choir from the cantata recordings have been slightly expanded and here numbers 18 singers, of which some also appears as soloists. Included on the disc are the six motets BWV 225-231, as well as BWV 118 O Jesu Christ, mein’s Lebens Licht and BWV Anh. 159 Ich lasse dich nicht.The recording of the motets took place in Bach Collegium Japan’s usual venue, the Kobe Shoin Chapel, and during it a short film was made. In this, Masaaki Suzuki talks about the special place the motets hold for him. Several of them were composed for funerals, and he finds in them music with a greater ability to console than human words, but also with ‘a creative power for us to survive in this world.’ There is not only grief in the motets – to Masaaki Suzuki’s mind there is also the sound of angelic hosts: ‘I think the angels’ choir [in the Gospel of St Luke] might have been a double choir – as in Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied!’

Andrew Parrott is a master of musicological detective work known for his adventurous and uncompromising scholarship. He is also internationally known for his pioneering historically informed performances and recordings of pre-classical repertory. This new release combines the best of both, resulting in the first full reconstruction and recording of the funeral music for J. S. Bach’s patron, Prince Leopold of Cöthen. Bach’s years in Cöthen were musically fertile and Prince Leopold was a knowledgeable and committed supporter of music and the arts, so it’s ironic that much of Bach’s output during those years has been lost or even destroyed. The score for Trauer-Musik, written in 1728 on the occasion of the Prince’s sudden death at the age at the age of 34, has almost completely disappeared, yet through the discovery of numerous clues in other works and writings, Parrott has been able to recontruct what was clearly a heart-felt homage.

Utwory na tej płycie odtwarzają fascynującą i piękną drogę, którą podążali kompozytorzy dwóch stuleci, wykorzystujący formę fugi. Na początku XVIII wieku kontrapunktyczna biegłość, wymagana przez tę formę, była już – głównie za sprawą Jana Sebastiana Bacha – w pełni rozwinięta i dojrzała. Opanowanie tej sztuki nawet dziś jeszcze stanowi ważny element kompozytorskiego warsztatu i jest przedmiotem nauczania na uczelniach wyższych i uniwersytetach./E.

Though only one cantata gets to bear the nickname, Bach  actually wrote many works that could be described as wedding cantatas. Some of them are lost, others are of debatable authorship, but of those that remain, four are collected on this 2008 disc. The performances by Ton Koopman leading the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir are taken from their set of the complete extant cantatas with the four works here recorded in 1994, 1996, and 2002. Though Koopman  has shown himself to be a master Bach  conductor, one sometimes got the sense in listening to his sacred cantatas that the composer's Lutheran ethos sat less well with his naturally ebullient personality than did the far more cheerful secular cantatas. This disc substantiates that hunch: these are four of the most joyful performances in the entire collection with brilliant playing, shinning singing, bright colors, and vigorous rhythms. The soloists are consistently excellent, though soprano Barbara Schlick is particularly radiant in Der Herr denkt an uns, BWV 196, and soprano Lisa Larsson is especially emotional in Weichet nur, betrübte Schatten, BWV 202. With skimpy notes and no texts, this disc may not appeal to Bach  devotees. But with crisp sound and festive performances, it may well appeal to more casual fans of the German Baroque master. ~ James Leonard, All Music Guide
