San Francisco-based Cantata Collective continues its exploration of J. S. Bach’s major choral masterworks with a third in the ongoing series, pairing the composer’s Easter Oratorio and Magnificat.
Both works are lavishly scored and feature some of Bach’s most festive and popular vocal writing. With celebrated baroque music specialist Nicholas McGegan on the podium, and a roll call of today’s finest early music vocal soloists, this release is poised to build on the auspicious previous releases – a “bold and beautifully constructed” St. John Passion (BBC Radio 3 Record Review), and “an exemplary performance” of the Mass in B Minor (American Record Guide).
History
Music Notes
Most Western music is based on a system of notation that evolved around 1600 out of earlier practices. The starting point for any opera is the full score, which contains all individual voices and instruments arranged in a specific order on the page. The written music—representing the sounds a composer creates in his head—then comes to life performed by singers onstage and played by the orchestra.
