John Eliot GardinerAbout
The Easter Oratorio, one of the less performed of Bach’s choral works, was first composed as a simple cantata and later revised to become a more polished piece with a meditative emphasis.
Actus tragicus, composed for a funeral, has an unusually soft toned instrumentation (recorders, viola da gamba and organ) which make it sound both consoling and full of optimism.
The album contains a 28 pages booklet with notes by John Eliot Gardiner and texts in German, English and French.
