Sacred Cantata "Weeping, wailing, fretting, fearing" BWV 12 (23'45)
Gustav Leonhardt (conductor) / Gerhard Schmidt-Gaden (chorus master)
Paul Esswood (alto) / Kurt Equiluz (tenor) / Max van Egmond (bass)
Leonhardt-Consort (ensemble) / Tölzer Knabenchor (choir)

The Chorus in that cantata is stunning -- Herreweghe's fairly recent recording on Harmonia Mundi is very good too.

[Kullervo]

RVW - Symphony No. 8 (Haitink/London Phil)
Debussy - Sonata for viola, flute and harp (Melos Ensemble)

Sacred Cantata "Rejoice unto God in all lands!" BWV 51 (17'58)
Gustav Leonhardt (conductor) / Leonhardt-Consort (ensemble)

This can well turn into approx 200 posts for you, James. I suppose you have the rest of the series?

New arrival today. Available at europadisc ar approx half price:



Well into the first disc. Extremely poetic and beatiful, with bursts of Hindemith extremely lucid, energic and clear counterpoint, beautifully sung and very lyrical and expressive. Those of you that think you don't "get" Hindemith owe it to yourself to try this, or Nagano's DVD Cardillac.

hahaha it's only a 4-disc set so no worries   

Sacred Cantata "Stand Steadfast against Transgression" BWV 54 (12'28)
Gustav Leonhardt (conductor) / Leonhardt-Consort (ensemble)
Paul Esswood (tenor)

Is that the given English translation of Widerstehe doch der Sünde? Good grief...

On the penultimate contrapunctus of the AoF - began from the 10th. (Emerson SQ)

I feel like Wile E. Coyote on a cliff's edge every time the last one stops abruptly.

Whatever it is, I like it myself. A very profound Cantata.

Oh yes - one of the very best!
