Description
Continuing the series 'Bach's Contemporaries', this volume concentrates on the wonderful music of Johann Schelle—a cousin of Kuhnau (another composer featured in this series).
This immensely striking sacred music by Schelle (one of Bach's predecessors in the post of Kantor in Leipzig's famous Thomas Church) brings together a top-flight group of soloists and a large and colourful assembly of instrumentalists, and presents remarkable and splendidly varied music which not only stands up proudly in its own musical right, but also greatly enhances our understanding of Bach's own sacred writing.
