Music reviews of Bach: Cantatas : Ascension Himmelfahrt

Music Review: a voice teacher and early music fan
Rating: 5 Stars

FOUR UPLIFTING CANTATAS REFLECTING BACH'S LIFE AND FAITH.

We are most certainly UPLIFTED by these four cantatas for Ascension Day, each a cameo of Bach's life-experience and faith - from the optimism of the Leipzig years to the sadness of ten years later; from a happy affirmation that the baptized believer will be saved, to a strong desire for the appearance of the ASCENDED ONE.

Bach wrote his most sublime music for the Church. His first Ascension Day in Leipzig was Thursday May 1724, for which he wrote "Wer da glaubit und getauft wird" BWV37,in which he focuses not on the Ascension story but on the words of Jesus: He who believes and is baptized shall be saved. This cantata opens with a Chorus followed by a Tenor Aria; followed by a beautifully sung chorale featuring Soprano and Countertenor; then a Bass recitative and aria and ending with a Chorale.

BWV128 "Auf Christi Himmelfahrt allein"(On Christ's Ascension Alone) focuses on the eternal implications of Jesus' Ascension for the baptized believer. The sections are as follows: Opening Chorus-Tenor recitative-Bass aria and recitative-an exciting duet featuring countertenor and tenor-ending with a lovely chorale.

In the cantata 'Gott Fahret auf mit Jauchzen' (God has gone up with a shout) Bach set his two-part text based on Psalm 47:5-6 and Mark 16:19. This was partly a token of gratitude to his earthly monarch the King and Elector, Augustus II; this is a joyful setting of praises to the King of Kings. This is actually my favorite of all four because of the variety of vocal conributions which are: Chorus-Tenor recitative and Aria-soprano recitative and aria -bass recitative and aria- countertenor recitative and aria followed by the closing chorale.

In the Ascension Oratorio "Lobet Gott in seinem Reichen" (Praise God in his His riches),the tenor Evangelist sings a compilation of passages from Luke 24:50-2,Acts 1:9-12 and Mark 16:19, which provides a story line joining the remaining movements, three of which are parodied from pre-existent material.

This disc is truly the epitome of Gardiner's Bach series and is a musical treasure. As with all of Gardiner's efforts the performance is excellent and the soloists are superb. Nancy Argento,soprano-Michael Chance & Robin Blaze (countertenors)-Anthony Rolfe Johnson (tenor)-Stephen Varcoe and Reinhard Hagen (bass). We too are UPLIFTED by this lovely and glorious music of Bach.

LOFTY PRAISE FROM THE PENGUIN GUIDE TO CD'S: "Gardiner's choice of soloists is unerring and the musicianship of (his ensembles) always imposing. Rhythm articulation is light but defined, and there is great technical finesse and unanimity of ensemble."

Booklet includes information in French, German and English; text in German and English.

Description of Bach: Cantatas : Ascension Himmelfahrt

All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.
John Eliot Gardiner's original Millennium Bach Cantata Pilgrimage plan involved weekly Deutsche Grammophon recordings of all the concerts, but the plan did not prove practical. This CD of Bach's Ascension Day cantatas dates from 1993 and 1999. The pride of the disc is BWV 11: The opening chorus is an adrenaline fix of blazing, suitably ascending motifs led by studio-immaculate baroque trumpets. Thereafter, the mood changes. The alto aria "Ach bleibe" (actually the great Agnus Dei from the Mass in B Minor) is, in countertenor Michael Chance's silky throat (1993 model), a poignant, drooping song of sorrow for the departed Lord. Chance's 1993 fellow soloists are Nancy Argenta, Anthony Rolfe Johnson, and Stephen Varcoe. They sing BWV 43 (Gott fähret auf) and BWV37 (Wer da gläubet) with clear enjoyment. Argenta also sings in the 1999 session for BWV 128, Auf Christi Himmelfahrt with colleagues Robin Blaze, Stefan Genz, and Reinhard Hagen. The latter has a low F sharp that is truly bearded. --Rick Jones
