"VISION. BACH Vol. 2 HC23026 2 CD / JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH (1685-1750) THE FIRST CANTATA YEAR Cantatas from the Feast of Nativity of St John the Baptist to 8th Sunday after Trinity - The Internationale Bachakademie Stuttgart is performing all these cantatas in chronological order exactly 300 years later. The 23 concerts in all are taking place in and around Stuttgart; the refined live recordings are being released in this CD series on the Hanssler Classic label. The performances follow the latest state of Bach research documented in the new 2022 catalogue of Bach's works BWV3. - The ensemble of the Bachakademie, the Gaechinger Cantorey, plays under the direction of Hans-Christoph Rademann. For this purpose it comprises the instrumentalists and up to four vocalists per voice, including the soloists (details on the performers via QRCode), all specialists in their field, as Bach himself wished it. This is a vision that only now can be fulfilled in it's ideal form. To this day the music will inspire it's audience to devotion, challenge them to reflect and make them glad. It addresses questions of faith and comes to terms with particular situations of human life.
