Something for a Friday: All of Bach

[Padraig]

... arranged from previously written cantatas by Bach (as is a great deal of Bach's Latin church music).

Work not yet undertaken, but, on my set of Lutheran Masses by The Sixteen, the Mass in F has Cantata 102 as an addition on the CD.

However, I cannot get the current AoB programme to respond on the performance element - all else works ok, and other random pieces too. Anyone else?

I have been trying every day since Friday.

Nor can I, alas. Very puzzling - if you can get to the AoB site Home, Padraig, then you should ... well, you know.

Interesting comments, Oddy - and a belated welcome to the wonderful Thread - I see what you mean, but the joie de vivre you mention was so much to the forefront, I thought the Alto fitted in perfectly. (And isn't Joy DeVivre a Soprano? )

Recovering from the crass "audience" comments in response to the broadcast of the wonderful Triple Concerto on Essential Classics this morning, my fevered brow was suitably soothened by this week's AoB offering - the Mass in F, BWV 233. Possibly only the second time in my life I've ever heard it - makes me wonder what the blazes I've been doing wasting so much time before returning to it! Recorded nine months ago in the Great Church in Harlingen with Hans-Christoph Rademann directing a (ThVpP) ensemble of singers and instrumentalists. Put the smile back on my silly mug!

I bumped into this work on a disc from the Harmonia Mundi " Sacred Music" box set very recently, and was similarly astonished, having ,AFAICR, never heard it before.

Amazing that it doesn't (seem to) get more airplay.

Not long enough to be a concert centrepiece would be one reason, I suppose.

What ma(d/k)es you doubt this, Lento? I'd say it was definitely the same composer who wrote the Bach Magnificat.

Some kind of aberration (on my part), I think: your comment made sense to me on a second hearing!

Suite in Eb for solo 'cello, BWV1010

Bruno Cocset (complete with curvy bottom) delivers rather a percussive performance of this work, recorded in Amsterdams Theatre Royal, Carré in June of this year.

Maybe due to that bass string he mentioned? It certainly stood out. I listened only once and I enjoyed the talk and the performance. I reckon anyone who undertakes these suites is already nearly there, and no 4 appears to be the test piece. Very well done!
I'll be hearing the last three suites live soon, and I'll be revising for that. So. This has been a starter and a marker, for, to be truthful, I need a reason for taking down these suites in preference to nearly any other Bach composition.

Still no joy for last week's Mass in F. Pity because I really like the players.

I wonder if the E Flat one always sounds a bit percussive,or certainly different from the others.
Maybe that's to do with the key and the awkward fingering as the player described.
I am always reminded of JSB No 4 when listening to the Britten suites,not sure why.

"Little" Fugue in D minor, BWV578

A four-minute smile this Friday: Dorien (!) Schouten plays this lovely miniature on the organ of the Upper Church, St Nicholas in Kampen (which has been used before for the "All of Bach" project.

Thank you Oddball. I tried to try that with the inevitable result! But never mind - you lose some...
...and I won tonight's marvel. There are many short pieces which say what has to be said and JSB never wastes a note, time after time.
Delightfully played and I'll add without fear of censure that those dancing blue jeans did not do a bit of harm to the performance.
