Bach (1685-1750)

Description:

In 2004, the Hilliard Ensemble, one of the finest chamber vocal ensembles of our time, celebrated its 30th anniversary. Their repertoire consists mainly of works by Perrotin and other medieval and Renaissance composers, as well as works by Pärt and contemporary composers from the Baltic countries. Their performance of a Bach motet ・・・・ will certainly be interesting. According to an interview with Gordon Jones, even in the mid-80s, when he recorded these pieces with the Hanover Boys Choir, he felt various discomforts. （In overcoming these discrepancies in vocabulary about playing with boys and orchestral instruments (he is not a fan of playing with instruments), he came to realize that it is possible to perform Bach "with a maximum of eight singers alone, without a conductor". This collection of motets is filled with such assertions. This is a disc that will allow you to enjoy the reconstructed world of Bach as you did with the worldwide hit "Molimur.
