Budapest Festival Orchestra Hungarian Radio Choir Iván Fischer (conductor) Kálmán Strausz (chorus master) Birgit Remmert (mezzo-soprano) Lisa Milne (soprano)
The playing on this disc is so beautiful that it will take your breath away. The silky sound of the soft strings in the trios of the scherzo and funeral march, light as a feather but never lacking in body, is amazing. In the lyrical second subject of the finale, Iván Fischer manages the gradual crescendo to the melodic climax with amazing finesse. There are countless memorable touches of color: the fruity bass clarinet in the first movement, the soft tam-tam strokes in the third, and at the other end of the dynamic scale, the powerfully pounding timpani at the finale’s two triumphant climaxes...

This disc is offered as a foretaste of the celebration of 300 years since the passing of the Treaty of Utrecht, an event that can hardly be underestimated as it brought an end to almost 200 years of war in Europe. It was a big event then and has not lost its significance today. The Treaty of Utrecht Foundation is in part responsible for the sponsorship of this recording.
The four cantatas selected by Philippe Herreweghe for this recording date from the first year of Bach s activity in Leipzig. Written at a tight pace between late July and early September 1723, they underscore the composer s obvious effort to establish original musical proposals. He continually showed musicians and listeners that he was not serving them routine cantor s music, but was writing sacred music as a true Kapellmeister. In this first volume of Bach cantatas for the PHI label, the Collegium Vocale Gent interprets some of the cantatas for the first time.
