CD:
Johann Sebastian Bach – The Motets

0000: Bach’s motets in a vibrant new recording by the Gaechinger Cantorey and Hans-Christoph Rademann.

With this recording, the Gaechinger Cantorey turns to Johann Sebastian Bach’s motets, widely regarded as a pinnacle of sacred vocal music. Recorded at the TauberPhilharmonie Weikersheim following an intensively prepared concert series, the album combines tonal transparency, expressive power, and vibrant historically informed performance practice.

For many years, the Gaechinger Cantorey has shaped the performance of Bach’s music with a sound that is precise, agile, and immediate. Under Hans-Christoph Rademann, historically informed performance practice becomes a means of rediscovering the music’s emotional power and complexity. This distinctive profile is especially evident in the motets: transparent, closely attuned to the text, and driven by great musical energy.

With this release, Accentus Music continues its long-standing collaboration with the Gaechinger Cantorey, which has already resulted in several highly acclaimed Bach recordings.
