In April 1736 a new bassoon star in the person of Johann Christian Klotsch came from Zerbst to Darmstadt. Christoph Graupner must have been extremely delighted to work with this talented musician; Klotsch had only recently been under contract in Darmstadt when he was given multiple opportunities to demonstrate his bassoonist\\x92s skill in the Sunday cantatas. Since Graupner loved to experiment with innovative tone colors, he increasingly placed the bassoon in the spotlight in his cantatas. This development reached its height in 1741 with bassoon parts of concerto character in sixteen different cantatas. Sergio Azzolini is currently a star of today\\x92s Baroque scene. When he plays his bassoon, the music is brought to life, and on this CD with vocal soloists and the Kirchheim BachConsort he has \\x91revived\\x92 (in the truest sense of the term) church cantatas with obbligato bassoon by Graupner. Sergio Azzolini comments: \\x92The Baroque bassoon is fragile. And this fits this music because the music too is fragile. The Baroque bassoon is one part, and the player has to do the rest, that is, our body. For this reason we are also very close to the singer. And I believe that Graupner understood that, and it was precisely this that he celebrated.\\x92Hebet Eure Augen Auf Gen Himmel GWV 1102\/40\u003cbr\u003eJauchzet, Ihr Himmel, Freue Dich, Erde GWV 1105\/43\u003cbr\u003eJesu, Mein Herr Und Gott Allein GWV 1109\/37\u003cbr\u003eKehre Wieder, Du Abtr\\xfcnnige Israel GWV 1125\/43\u003cbr\u003eAch, Bleib \\u0301 Bei Uns, Herr Jesu Christ GWV 1129\/46\u003cbr\u003eWir Werden Ihn Sehen GWV 1169\/49 ","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55131859911041,"sku":"1209317","price":28.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/41fNkVaMIoL._SL1500.jpg?v=1766953924","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1209317","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
