Georg Philipp Telemann and his cantatas for the liturgical year stand at the heart of this Rondeau Production CD: the Leipzig-based singer Gotthold Schwarz, members of St Thomas\u2019s Boys Choir Leipzig, and the S\u00e4chsisches Barockorchester present an historically informed recording of select solo cantatas for bass, which nevertheless demonstrates the space available for artistic interpretation. The listener is invited to step through the liturgical year with the cantatas recorded here: he passes through the church\u2019s main feasts of New Year, the Passion, Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, and the end of the liturgical year. Listening to this music, the emotions related to the feast days\u2014suffering and fear, but also hope, thankfulness, and joy\u2014are experienced. Telemann had a deep understanding of the church\u2019s liturgical riches, and gave them their very own expressiveness through his music in these cantatas. The number of members from St Thomas\u2019s Boys Choir matches the ensemble size which Telemann would have had at his disposal with the boys of the Hamburg Johanneum in the eighteenth century. Gotthold Schwarz\u2019s double function as conductor and singer corresponds closely with Telemann\u2019s own ideal of church music, for he himself used to appear as performer and director.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
