About

This recording project is dedicated to two composers who played a crucial role in shaping Central German music in the 18th century: Johann Ernst Bach and Georg Anton Benda. Capella Jenensis and Ælbgut present their works side-by-side for the first time, exploring their stylistic characteristics and their influence on musical developments in Thuringia. Alongside Bach’s cantata Mein Odem ist schwach, once attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach, the album features rarely performed symphonies and vocal compositions. With newly prepared editions, this music is now brought back to life – a significant contribution to rediscovering a nearly forgotten musical heritage.
