Philippe Herreweghe

Background: Only as Kantor and director of music in Leipzig (1723-50) did Bach find himself in the position of shaping the church music of a large city under his direct control and responsibility, according to his personal beliefs. Here he invented the 'modern' cantata, combining chorales and traditional biblical texts with arias and recitatives on freely composed texts. The four works assembled on this recording document by Philippe Herreweghe offer a magisterial demonstration of the musical development of the Bach church cantata over a period of some twelve years.
