About

Bach Collegium Japan and Masaaki Suzuki present their long-awaited second volume of secular cantatas by J S Bach.

The 'Hunt Cantata', composed in 1713, is the oldest of his secular cantatas. The libretto includes a dramatic plot in which four divinities from ancient mythology appear.

Die Zeit, die Tag und Jahre macht was intended for the 1719 New Year celebrations in Köthen. The cantata is set as a dialogue between Time (tenor) and Divine Providence (alto), who in the final movement are joined by a chorus wishing ‘glückseligen Zeiten’ (‘joyous times’).

Artists:
- Sophie Junker (Diana)
- Joanne Lunn (Pales)
- Makoto Sakurada (Endymion)
- Roderick Williams (Pan)
- Damien Guillon (Göttliche Vorsehung)
- Makoto Sakurada (Zeit)

With Suzuki you can hear Bach’s heart beat” - International Record Review
