Re: What are you listening to?
Basically, yes....that was JSB's job after all i.e. to compose cantatas for all of the appropriate Lithurgical events of the Lutheran calander, especially the Sunday Service. I once read a nice story that during the cold bleak days of winter the bold JS would slip out of the church during those long fire and brimstone sermons and visit a local "coffee" house for some sustenance!!Seán wrote:Do you have a cantata for every sunday of the year then?fergus wrote:JSB – The beautiful Cantata BWV170 for the Sixth Sunday after Trinity performed by Collegium Vocale/Herreweghe and sung by Andreas Scholl....
Anyway, this year I am playing a Cantata appropriate for the day just to make it a little bit less boring for you guys!!!

Vivaldi – Dixit Dominus....
This wonderful music is performed with a lovely warmth and with a wonderful sense of Life. Although played on modern instruments the music is performed with a light touch and articulation very appropriate to the style of music.
