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.

Grigory Ginzburg (1904-1961) was perhaps the most astounding virtuoso to emerge in Soviet Russia and it is a tragedy that he was never allowed to travel to the west after the mid 1930’s. He focussed his repertoire very much on the 19th century Romantic period and, above all, in Liszt, and his prolific recordings include many of Liszt’s virtuosic opera paraphrases that had fallen into neglect. This CD is the second of two devoted to his earliest 78rpm recordings mainly dating from around 1950. These discs are extremely rare and many of the performances included will be unknown to even the most ardent collectors. Of particular interest to pianophiles will be his supremely elegant Strauss transcriptions and the Schumann arrangements of Paganini Caprices.
