Cantus Cölln under the direction of Konrad Junghänel is one of the most renowned vocal ensembles for  Renaissance und Baroque music. Following their long-term partnership with Harmonia Mundi France, the  ensemble now presents its first recording for Accent with  Bach’s St John Passion (further projects are  planned)This recording is distinguished through two special features: firstly, the utilisation of the seldom performed  late fourth version of the passion dating from 1749 and, secondly, the ideal sound of the soloist vocal  ensemble which performs the entire work as a double vocal quartet. This produces not only a vocal brilliance  and immaculate solo sections, but also extreme transparency which also extends to the turba choruses and  chorale settings – Cantus Cölln employs a wide emotional spectrum in their performance ranging from  breathtaking drama to intense ardency.The St John Passion was performed a last time under the direction of the composer in the year prior to his  death in 1750 in a version which on the one hand cast a glance back to the notated musical text of the original version dating back to 1724, but simultaneously looked forward to embrace the subsequent tonal  developments in aesthetic ideals since the time of  its composition. The instrumental ensemble was  considerably extended: the harpsichord was added as an accompanying instrument alongside the organ, the  bass register was reinforced by a contrabassoon and the woodwind orchestration in several of the turba choruses was reinforced by the strings. Bach undertook extensive alterations to text and timbre in a number  of arias, and the movements 2 to 10 diverge in numerous details from the text of the now customarily  performed version based on the revised score from 1739. The seldom performed version on this recording will perhaps provide a welcome opportunity to hear this all too familiar work with completely new ears.

Thomas Linley was born in Bath into a highly musical family. Had he not died tragically young in a boating accident it seems likely that he would have won for himself a far greater name. He travelled widely, was a friend of Mozart (who commented that 'had he lived, he would have been one of the greatest ornaments of the musical world'), and was widely mourned. The Song of Moses was one of his last works. A grand oratorio in Handelian style, it contains a varied range of arias alongside choruses which are at once expertly written and intensely dramatic (something here developed to the full by the Holst Singers). The story is taken from Exodus (Chapter 15) and concentrates on the Israelites' rejoicing after the Red Sea was closed over the pursuing Egyptian forces—much the same as Handel's Israel in Egypt. This recording is the work's first performance since 1778. Let God arise is an earlier work, one of his first surviving compositions of any size, and is a large-scale anthem after the style of Handel or Boyce. Again the choruses have real strength and contrapuntal power, and the arias show a skill rare in one so young. GRAMOPHONE CRITICS' CHOICE 'Another indispensable release in the English Orpheus series. The adventurous will find their curiosity amply rewarded' (Classic CD) 'One of the best finds yet in Hyperion's English Orpheus series' (Gramophone) 'Linley might well have been an English answer to Mozart, as this fine short oratorio shows' (Daily Mail)

‘There is nothing like entering a church on a Saturday, standing in the semi-darkness with the scent of incense wafting through the air, lost in deep contemplation searching for an answer to those perennial questions, wherefore, when, whither and why?’These words, from one of Tchaikovsky’s own letters, sum up the spirit behind the glorious Liturgy of St John Chrysostom, Op 41. The work is steeped in the Orthodox tradition, the choral writing provides that sense of transparency and simplicity demanded by the text, and the resulting ambience is rich in the manner familiar to Western listeners from works such as Rachmaninov’s Vespers.This recording also includes ten choruses to texts many of which are taken from the Liturgy. The first nine were published together in 1885, while the tenth, The angel cried, was lost shortly after its first performance in 1887 and only rediscovered thirteen years after the composer’s death.
