Description:

This is the second collection of Passion Cantatas by the late German Baroque composer Graupner. As in the first collection (555071), the members of the Aix-Tempore and the Mannheim Hofkapelle, under the direction of Hierrick, give a refined performance of these cantatas, In these cantatas, the singers are given ample opportunity to show off their singing with catchy melodies, and the backing orchestral instruments also compete with the singing, providing a superb ensemble performance. The backing orchestral instruments also compete with the singing, providing a superb ensemble sound. Naxos Japan
