Die Schöpfung by Joseph Haydn( )

Haydn gave birth to a new type of oratorio that reflected perfectly the spirit of his time. With German texts, direct expression of feelings and many grand choruses, it stood for the transition from the aristocracy to a bourgeois society, in which music-making in a group was seen as an expression of civil pride. Extremely popular with amateur choirs, performances with a large ensemble became the rule until well into the 20th century. And the 1960 Electrola recording represents this tradition, with a top-class trio of soloists consisting of the great Elisabeth Grummer, outstanding tenor Josef Traxel and Gottlob Frick, "the blackest of all bass singers"

"The foundations of Marc Minkowski's career lie in Baroque music, and he has enjoyed a long relationship with Warner Classics, but this Johannes-Passion (St John Passion) is his first Bach for the label. The work's terse drama - here presented through just nine singers - is ideally suited to both his scrupulous musicianship and his keen sense of theatre. The French conductor describes Bach's great masterpieces as 'a journey you have to prepare for meticulously, over a long period of time. You come back from it like an explorer comes back from Everest or the Moon - transformed"--warnerclassics.com

Motetten by Johann Sebastian Bach( )

12 editions published between 1992 and 2008 in 4 languages and held by 273 WorldCat member libraries worldwide

Zu Bachs Zeiten wurden Motetten in der lutherischen Liturgie als Gebrauchsmusik zu Trauerfeiern, Beisetzungen oder Gedächtnisgottesdiensten komponiert. Überliefert sind von Bach allerdings nur die 6 Motetten BWV 225-230. Jede dieser meist doppelchörigen Motetten wurde vermutlich für eine sehr kleine, nur aus Solisten bestehende Besetzung geschrieben, da die komplexe Kompositionsweise nicht nur höchste Virtuosität der Stimmen erfordert, sondern auch eine hohe stimmliche Transparenz zur Verdeutlichung des musikalischen Gewebes. Diese Voraussetzungen bringt auch die Capella Cracoviensis unter Leitung von Fabio Bonizzoni mit, die hier eine höchst lebhafte Interpretation dieser bachschen Monumentalwerke vorlegt
