The decision to delve into Bach's esteemed cantatas was not one I thought could be taken lightly. It required a drawing together of lifelong musical experiences, especially those gained from the creative process of preparing, recording, and launching my first album, Sweet Stillness. This album laid the necessary foundations and emerged as a precursor to the musical exploration of Bach's cantata arias. As a violinist with a lifelong love for singing, the desire to explore the interplay between vocal and instrumental lines, particularly through the use of obligato, became a driving force for me behind this project. In Bach's cantata arias, the obligato instruments take on a pivotal role, engaging in a musical dialogue with the vocal line. This relationship, characterised by intricate interweaving melodies, imitation, and embellishment, enriches the texture of the music, showcasing Bach's mastery in crafting compelling musical narratives. The genesis of this album traces back to formative experiences, including collaborations with the English Baroque Soloists under the direction of Sir John Eliot Gardiner. It was during these encounters that the seeds were planted for both Sweet Stillness and The Art of Obligato. The profound influence of Gardiner's mentorship, coupled with my innate affinity for the obligato style, laid the groundwork for the exploration of Bach's repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHalleluja, Stark und Macht Wir danken dir, Gott, wir danken dir, BWV 29\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIch will nach dem Himmel zu Wir mussen durch viel Trubsal, BWV 146\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSonata in G Major, BWV 2021: Adagio\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSonata in G Major, BWV 2021: Vivace\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSonata in G Major, BWV 2021: Largo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSonata in G Major, BWV 2021: Presto\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristi Glieder, ach bedenket' Bereitet die Wege, bereitet die Bah, BWV 132\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGott ist mein Freund' Wohl dem, der sich auf seinen Gott, BWV 139\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMich kann kein Zweifel storen' Es ist euch gut, dab ich hingehe, BWV 108\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSonata No. 3 in E Major, BWV 1016: Adagio\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSonata No. 3 in E Major, BWV 1016: Allegro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSonata No. 3 in E Major, BWV 1016: Adagio Ma non Troppo\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSonata No. 3 in E Major, BWV 1016: Allegro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLobe den Herren' Lobe den Herren, den machtigen Konig der Ehren, BWV 137\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIch furchte zwar' Erfreut euch, ihr Herzen, BWV 66\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54419487424897,"sku":"2477097","price":12.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/5060140212409.jpg?v=1750562133","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/2477097","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
