About

Bach, in his time, could never have envisioned his music being recorded. When Signum Classics first embarked on their journey with the Oxford Bach Soloists, their focus was not on recording. They were immersed in the live experience, discovering Bach’s vocal works chronologically, in real-time. It was about living the music as all those who performed and heard it did, tracing his steps through each note and phrase.

Featuring two of the core Soloists, Nick Pritchard (tenor) and Yu-Wei Hu (flute), this album presents three of Bach’s Cantatas. These include possibly his earliest vocal work, Christ lag in Todesbanden, BWV4, his only extant tenor cantata, Ich armer Mensch, BWV55, and the much-beloved cantata, Ich habe genug, showcased here in its arrangement for high voice and flute (BWV82.2).

This recording is a celebration of Signum Classics’ journey with Bach, and an invitation to experience his timeless music through their journey of dedication and discovery.
