Ton Koopman / Challenge Records / September 2014
This season, the soloists awarded a Salvat Bach grant and the Festival Bachcelona choir and consort will be conducted by legendary figure Ton Koopman. The audience will be able to enjoy two cantatas, in direct dialogue, by the virtuoso Leipzig kantor. They are "Meine Seel erhebt den Herren" BWV 10 (My soul now magnifies the Lord) and "Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben" BWV 147 (The heart and mouth and deed and life), one of the most popular, best-known cantatas, mainly for the sparkling, radiant final chorale "Jesus bleibet meine Freude" (Jesu, joy of man's desiring). The two cantatas include trumpets among the instruments, adding a splendid, festive tone especially suited to the liturgical celebration of the Visitation, for which they were conceived and written.
