"Bach has many voices, and this disc is a bold attempt by one of the world's leading oboists to sing many of them himself...He makes a gloriously rich sound, and the alto solo 'Widerstehe doch der Sünde', with its astonishing dissonances, works well." The Observer, 28th February 2010
"This is a fascinating collection of music fashioned from the composer's immense Cantata catalogue. Throughout the CD Mayer descants eloquently against and around the immaculate singing of Trinity Baroque and spirited playing of the English Concert."
(William Dart NZ Herald)
The world's leading oboist plays some of the great vocal melodies of J.S.Bach.
Principal oboist of the Berlin Philharmonic and a hugely successful recording artist in his native Germany, Albrecht Mayer is a world-renowned musician and winner of Germany's prestigious ECHO-Klassik as Instrumentalist of the Year.
His latest Decca solo album is a celebration of the music of J.S.Bach. The album includes works written specifically for wind instruments (both oboe and cor anglais) as well as great melodies from the choral works in new, arrangements.
Albrecht Mayer is joined by one of Europe's best-known baroque orchestras - The English Concert - who are among the world's finest chamber orchestras with a reputation for inspiring performances of Baroque music.
The album also features the award-winning specialist baroque choir Trinity Baroque.
