Johann Sebastian Bach: The Complete Works for Keyboard, Vol. 7: Orgelbüchlein, BWV 599-644 (with choir)

Benjamin Alard

Choral Music (Choirs) - Released October 14, 2022 | harmonia mundi

Hi-Res Booklet
With its forty-five chorale preludes, the Orgelbüchlein bears witness to a mastery of the art of improvisation on the organ, as the congregation heard it at the time before singing the hymn in its turn. It was a tempting experiment to revive this primary function: by collaborating with the combined forces of the Ensemble Vocal Bergamasque and the Maîtrise de Notre-Dame de Paris, Benjamin Alard gives the "little organ book" its full significance and expressive power. © harmonia mundi

Jörg Halubek

Classical - Released December 3, 2021 | Berlin Classics

Hi-Res
You'll need your latest smartphone if you want to understand anything about the latest albums by the wacky German organist Jörg Halubek. Under the GPS coordinates of the places and instruments frequented by Bach, we see Halubek, on the covers of his Bach complete works undertaken since 2019 for the Berlin Classics label, armed with a large black umbrella under a radiant sky, walking around with a cheerful face. Of course, the name Halubek is already a bit of an in-joke itself, if one considers the journey to Lübeck (!) that Bach made in 1705, on foot, to meet Dietrich Buxtehude, the greatest German composer of his time.More seriously, Jörg Halubek is a complete musician. An organist and harpsichordist, he also studied period performance practice with Jesper Christensen and Andrea Marcon at the Schola Cantorum in Basel, before forming his own ensemble, il Gusto Barocco, with whom he has made several recordings.This new album is devoted to early works composed in Lüneburg and Arnstadt. It contains the Orgelbüchlein ("Little Organ Book"), the famous collection of forty-six organ chorales composed by Bach between 1708 and 1717 and published in the mid-19th century, a must for all organist apprentices worldwide. The other side of this album is devoted to the Partitas BWV 770 and 766 to 768, in which Bach's unique personality is already apparent. © François Hudry/Qobuz

J.S. Bach: Organ Works, Vol. 4

Masaaki Suzuki

Classical - Released July 21, 2023 | BIS

Hi-Res Booklet
The great Masaaki Suzuki's traversal of Bach's keyboard music is well underway, and several attractions have become clear. In general, though, the interpretations are clearly characteristic of the musician who recorded all of Bach's cantatas; he is a bit less concerned with a pearly surface and a bit more with direct expression. In works for organ, he has shown a willingness to delve into period instruments, and the one here, the 1737 Christoph Treutmann organ of Stiftskirche St. Georg, Grauhof in Germany's Lower Saxony region, is a real find. It is an instrument that Bach might have played; at the very least, it is similar to the ones he knew, and it brings the organ music on this release alive. The instrument's occasional clanking noises do not detract from, and arguably even enhance, its remarkable variety of colors; the delicate stops here (try Vom Himmel kam der Engel Schaar) are glorious. Suzuki is willing to take a bit of time to bring out these colors; there is nothing too radical, but there are subtle adjustments to the tempo throughout that define the profile of each little ornamented chorale, and all the performances are vivid. Hear the swirly effects of In dulci jubilo, BWV 608. The pieces, except for an entr'acte prelude and fugue, are associated with the holiday season. This album was released in the summer of 2023; it may not have been intended as a Christmas album, but it would make a wonderful purchase at that time.© James Manheim /TiVo

Bach, J.S.: Cantatas, Vol. 22 - Bwv 4, 6, 31, 134, 145

Monteverdi Choir

Classical - Released January 1, 2000 | SDG

In this volume recorded on April 23-25, 2000, in the Georgenkirche in Eisenach -- the town of Bach's birth and the church of his baptism -- John Eliot Gardiner has programmed two cantatas for Easter Sunday -- Christ lag in Todesbandend (Christ lies in the Bonds of Death) (BWV 4) and Der Himmel lacht! Die Erde jubilieret! (The Heavens Laugh! The Earth Rejoices) (BWV 31) -- two cantatas for Easter Monday -- Erfeut euch, ihr Herzen (Rejoice, Heart) (BWV 66) and Bleib bei uns, denn es will Abend werden (Remain with us, it is towards evening and the day is far spent) (BWV 6) -- and two cantatas for Easter Tuesday -- Ein Herz, das seinen Jesum lebend weiss (The heart that truly knows Jesus) (BWV 134) and Ich lebe, mein Herze, zu deinem Ergotzen (I live, my heart, for your salvation) (BWV 145). And every movement in every work is suffused with spirituality, from the dark night of the soul that is Christ lag in Todesbandend to the bright rejoicing of Der Himmel lacht! to the ethereal serenity of Ich lebe, mein Herze. Although there have certainly been other musical, beautiful, and even spiritual recordings of Bach's cantatas in the past and will surely be other fine recordings of the same ilk in the future, these recordings are bound to be special for a long time. As always in this series, no matter what the venue, the recordings are vivid and immediate. © TiVo

Bach : Sonn und Schild. Cantatas BWV 4, 79, 80

Philippe Herreweghe

Cantatas (sacred) - Released September 21, 2018 | Phi

Hi-Res Booklet
For the fourth time on the Phi label, Philippe Herreweghe presents three cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach – Christ lag in Todesbanden, BWV 4, Gott der Herr ist Sonn und Schild, BWV 79, and Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott, BWV 80. Written at different moments in the composer’s life and based to a large extent on the works of Martin Luther, these cantatas reflect a marked taste for dramaturgy, vivid word painting and an invariably astonishing use of instruments and voices. Philippe Herreweghe and Collegium Vocale Gent give us an accomplished version of these masterpieces, confirming, if further proof were needed, their stature as ardent champions of Bach. © Outhere Music

Advent Live, Vol. 3

Choir Of St. John's College, Cambridge

Classical - Released November 24, 2023 | Signum Records

Hi-Res
This 2023 release is the third in a series devoted to live Advent recordings by the Choir of St. John's College, Cambridge, over the past decade. In some ways, it offers more of what was heard on the first two, and its appearance on classical best-seller charts during the 2023 holiday season suggests that listeners are getting what they want. There is a good mix of traditional, contemporary, and newly commissioned pieces, with Bach organ works as interludes. This has an intriguing effect that jolts the proceedings out of the usual realm of peak Britishness and casts a contrapuntal perspective over much of the music. Yet, there are some factors that make this third volume unique. For one, these recordings were taken from services held between 2020 and 2022 and were thus affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The 2020 recordings occurred under severe social distancing rules, and in 2021, director Andrew Nethsingha himself was stricken; organist George Herbert stepped in at short notice. By 2022, Nethsingha had agreed to take up a new post at Westminster Abbey, making the proceedings into a swan song. There is perhaps a certain enthusiasm in the singing of the young choristers, but as for the COVID restrictions, it is hard to hear in the finished product; the engineering of Dave Rowell smooths out any rough spots and creates an appealingly direct sound that doesn't shy from a bit of clanking in the organ. Some of the pieces seem relevant to the upcoming coronation of King Charles, and there are some standout individual works like Judith Weir's Drop Down, Ye Heavens, from Above. In multiple ways, even those who already have the first two releases in the Choir's series will find this a fresh take on the English holiday season in music.© James Manheim /TiVo

Famous Cantatas Vol. 1

Johann Sebastian Bach

Classical - Released October 8, 2021 | Challenge Classics

The first volume in a series devoted to Bach's famous Cantatas with Ton Koopman and the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir. The project is chronologically structured, so this first volume includes Cantatas composed at Mulhausen in the years 1707 and 1708. It contains four great and well-known masterpieces which convey the mastery and maturity of the young Bach, aged 22 at that time. Bach's sacred music written before he went to Leipzig, including all the works from the Weimar period, are often lumped together as "early" cantatas. This is misleading and ultimately inaccurate, since Bach was already 38 years old when he moved from his post as Kapellmeister at Kothen in 1723 to take up his duties as Kantor at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. In fact most of Bach's church cantatas date from the Leipzig years, as does the consolidation of the stylistic, structural and technical features of his vocal works, but even the repertoire composed before 1714 can hardly be termed "early". The works composed at Mühlhausen, demonstrating a striking sureness of touch in their conception, placed the 22-year-old among the finest contemporary cantata composers. Bach's earliest church cantatas are still clearly marked by 17th-century traditions. As well as the influences of older members of the Bach family, those of Buxtehude and Pachelbel the Elder, and Italian and French masters are evident, technically, structurally and stylistically. A particularly characteristic feature of the pre-Leipzig cantatas is Bach's exceptional delight in experimental and complex handling of an extremely wide range of instruments, with refined sound effects (such as the use of the bassoon) and poly- and homophonic settings and forms. © Challenge Records
