RSS feed for the Podcasts

JS Bach Part Three concentrates exclusively on one single Lyrichord Early Music Series Release, "J. S. BACH - SOLO CANTATAS BWV #51, 209 and 210" performed by Elizabeth Futral, Soprano, and the Washington Bach Consort, J. Reilly Lewis, conductor. Selections from Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen!, BWV 51, and Non sa che sia dolore, BWV 209 are featured, and many aspects of Baroque vocal and instrumental performance practice are discussed. Jeffrey goes into depth on Bach's uses of "secco" and accompanied recitatives, and how they and Bach's writing are used to support the emotional expressions of the texts. The glorious golden voice of Ms. Futral, combined with the flawless period instrument realizations by the Lewis and the The Washington Bach Consort, provide a sumptuous banquet celebration of Bach's vocal music.
