This set is a rerelease of recordings made in 1991, not previously reviewed in Read more . In the order listed in the header, these four cantatas were composed for the following festal days in the liturgical church calendar: the Third Sunday in Advent, the Feast of St. John the Baptist, Pentecost, and Easter Sunday. All stem from the time of the younger Bach’s increasingly fractious and unhappy years as director of music in Halle, which spanned 1747 to 1764. The first of these is definitely known to have been written in 1749; the dates for the others are less certain, but stem from the mid to late 1750s.
Briefly, if you love the music of the father, grab these cantatas by the son, for in terms of compositional style the apple here did not fall far from the tree. While the textures are somewhat leaner—employing less counterpoint and fewer fugal passages, reflecting the first stages of the shift toward the Classical style of the late 18th century—the similarities are more marked than the differences. In addition to the high quality of the music, on a par with any other masterpieces of the late Baroque, these are superb performances, rendered with the vigor, spirit, and polish for which Hermann Max and his forces are justly famed. The choir sings with crystalline clarity of tone and diction and exemplary balance, while the orchestra crackles with verve and precision. Finally, there are the exemplary soloists: a soprano who is a byword for excellence in Baroque repertoire, a rich but not matronly alto, a Baroque tenor with more body and depth to his voice than most, and a bass who is a tad less distinguished than his colleagues in plushness of vocal timbre but still first-rate. The recorded sound is crisp and clear, balanced with the soloists more to the foreground, the orchestra to the back, and the chorus in between.
