The second of two further Cantata releases on SDG (available February 15th) contains Bach's two 'test' pieces for the job as Cantor at St Thomas's in Leipzig, BWV 22 & 23. The latter is particularly ingenious and sophisticated. The first disc is rounded out by performances of the musically complex and innovative BWV 127, and BWV 159 with its affinities with the two Passions. Disc 2 contains Cantatas for three different Feast Days, and includes BWV 54 with its spellbinding first aria, and the jubilant and opulently-scored springtime Cantata BWV 1. Performances are as brilliant and inspired as those of previous issues in this award-winning series.
