HMA1951703
Long-neglected by performers and historians alike, the vocal music produced in Germany between the 1650s (after Schütz) and 1710 (the beginning of J.S. Bach's creative career) is constantly being revealed as an inexhaustible treasure trove of admirably constructed and deeply expressive works. What is most astonishing is the fact that the cantatas on this record by Tunder, Bruhn, Graupner and Kuhnau (Bach's predecessor at St Thomas's in Leipzig) have lost none of their pristine fascination.This title was released for the first time in 2000.
