The great orchestra of Bach’s own city of Leipzig in a glorious new recording of his choral masterpiece. Played on modern instruments, Chailly’s Bach beautifully demonstrates that vivid, stylistically aware performance is not the exclusive preserve of period instrument ensembles. Distinguished German vocal soloists, including acclaimed bass-baritone Thomas Quasthoff, rise gloriously to the challenges of Bach’s exalted score. The choir parts are thrillingly sung by two of Germany’s most celebrated boys’ choirs – the Thomanerchor Leipzig and the Tölzer Knabenchor. On 2 CDs (most recordings are on 3 CDs). Released for Easter 2010. Part of a trio of Bach releases that also includes the Brandenburg Concertos (January 2010) and Christmas Oratorio (November 2010). |
