Gordon SafariAbout
The extremely virtuoso cantata "Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen", BWV51 ("Shout for joy to God in every land"), is celebrated for its exhilarating coloratura runs for soprano and trumpet. The core of the cantata makes room for heartfelt prayer with languid, melancholic lines. The end of the chorale erupts in a cascade of "Allelujas" and the soprano reaches the only "high C" in all of Bach's oeuvre.
Bach's mastery of conveying the meaning of the text in music is particularly striking in both motets "Lobet den Herrn alle Heiden", BWV230 ("Praise the Lord all ye Gentiles"), and "Jauchzet dem Herrn alle Welt!", BWV Anh.160 ("All the earth rejoice in the Lord"). The poetry of Psalm 117 is modelled in sound, for example, held notes symbolise eternity ("Ewigkeit") and the fast-paced, joyful "Alleluia" virtually invites the listener to join in the festive cheer.
Bach wrote the cantata "Lobe den Herrn, meine Seele", BWV69a ("Praise the Lord, my soul") during his first summer as Leipzig's Thomaskantor. Gordon Safari's powerful interpretation gets to the heart of the theological content of these masterpieces. BachWerkVokal deliver a beguilingly beautiful performance with great clarity of diction and dazzling articulation.
"...a model for every ambitious choir with its clever programme concepts and successful recording techniques." - Klassik Heute
