JS Bach Cantatas VI - Favorite Cantatas by American Bach Soloists American Bach Soloists : JS Bach Cantatas VI - Favorite Cantatas.
 Virtuosic bach performances and more.

Upon being released on the Magnatune site this collection of Bach's most popular vocal and choral compositions instantly appeared in our top ten albums of the week--an auspicious debut for the the first release in a series by "period all stars" American Bach Soloists. Three of Bach's most popular cantatas appear here: BWV 140 is based on a famous hymn by Luther ("A mighty fortress"), and includes a gorgeously balanced quartet for alto, tenor, violin, and oboe. BWV 78 is known for its lively soprano-alto duet; BWV 80 ("Sleepers awake") features the original version of Bach's famous organ chorale prelude, along with a magnificent opening chorus and two soprano-bass duets. Full liner notes included with download purchase.
