Featuring internationally acclaimed soloists including James Gilchrist, Lisa Larsson, Daniel Taylor and Stephen Varcoe, the programme opens with BWV 2 Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein (Oh God, look down from Heaven), based upon Martin Luther's German hymn adaptation of Psalm 12.  The psalm describes how easily man is led astray by heresy and Bach deals with such grim subject matter by resorting to composing in an archaic motet style.  The result is austere beauty and has the engrossing quality of ritualised worship.  There then follows BWV 10. Schutz's superb motet Die Himmel erzahlen die Ehre Gottes (The heavens are telling of God in glory) follows.  This is a motet that John Eliot remembers fondly, since it is a work he has known since he was six and he can still hear his father's ringing tenor declaiming its powerful text.  The concert ends with Bach's prodigious cantata, BWV 76 Die Himmel erzahlen die Ehre Gottes, a lengthy and complex bipartite cantata, comprising fourteen movements and divided into two equal parts.  We then head to Zurich to hear Gardiner and his Monteverdi forces perform within the stunning Fraumunster Kirche, distinctive for its slender, blue spire.  They open with the two-part Weimar Cantata BWV 21 Ich hatte viel Bekummernis (I had much affliction), considered to be '...one of the most extraordinary and inspired of Bach's vocal works', as stated by John Eliot Gardiner in his booklet note.  There then follows BWV 135 Ach Herr, mich armen Sunder (O, Lord, I poor sinner).  This is superb music and Bach concludes with a rousing 'Glory to God', to the Passion chorale by Cyriakus Schneega\u003cp\u003eAch Gott, Vom Himmel Sieh Darein\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSinfonia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTenor Sie Lehren Eitel Falsche List\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIch Hatte Viel Bekummernis in Meinem Herzen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlt Tilg, O Gott, Die Lehren\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSopran Seufzer, Tranen, Kummer, Not\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBass Die Armen Sind Verstort\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWie Hast Du Dich, Mein Gott\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTenor Durchs Feuer Wird Das Silber Rein\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBache Von Gesalznen Zahren\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDas Wollst Du, Gott, Bewahren Rein\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWas Betr\\xc3\\xbcbst Du Dich, Meine Seele\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeine Seel Erhebt Den Herren\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAch Jesu, Meine Ruh\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSopran Herr, Der Du Stark Und Machtig Bist\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKomm, Mein Jesu, Und Erquicke\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTenor Des Hochsten Gut Und Treu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSei Nun Wieder Zufrieden\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBass Gewaltige Stosst Gott Vom Stuhl\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eErfreue Dich, Seele, Erfreue Dich, Herze\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlt, Tenor Er Denket Der Barmherzigkeit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDas Lamm, Das Erwurget Ist\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTenor Was Gott Den Vatern Alter Zeiten\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAch Herr, Mich Armen Sunder\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLob Und Preis Sei Gott Dem Vater Und Dem Sohn\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAch Heile Mich, Du Arzt Der Seelen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDie Himmel Erzahlen Die Ehre Gottes, SWV386\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTroste Mir, Jesu, Mein Gemute\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDie Himmel Erzahlen Die Ehre Gottes\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlt Ich Bin Von Seufzen Mude\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTenor So Lasst Sich Gott Nicht Unbezeuget!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBass Weicht, All Ihr Ubeltater\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSopran Hort, Ihr Volker, Gottes Stimme\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEhr Sei Ins Himmels Throne\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBass Wer Aber Hort\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAllegro\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBass Fahr Hin, Abgottische Zunft!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdagio Ma Non Tanto E Dolce\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlt Du Hast Uns, Herr, Von Allen Strassen\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlla Breve\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEs Woll Uns Gott Genaedig Sein\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSinfonia\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBass Gott Segne Noch Die Treue Schar\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTenor Hasse Nur, Hasse Mich Recht\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlt Ich Fuhle Schon Im Geist\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlt Liebt, Ihr Christen, in Der Tat!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTenor So Soll Die Christenheit\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEs Danke, Gott, Und Lobe Dich\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55171016950145,"sku":"579878","price":22.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/41ecPtvcCbL._SL1500.jpg?v=1768105639","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/579878","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
