Pełen opis produktu 'J.S. Bach Complete Edition 142 CD' »
Johann Sebastian Bach?s stature as a composer of extraordinary
talent and widespread influence is so firmly established in Western
culture that it is difficult to believe that only 150 years ago his
works lay in veritable obscurity, unknown to all but a small group
of scholars. It is largely thanks to ohn, who essentially effected
a revival of the composer?s music through his rediscovery and
promulgation of the St Matthew Passion, besides other pieces, that
his works are today regarded as pinnacles of music expression. That
they are among the most performed and widely attended is in no
doubt; in Holland alone, thousands of singers and musicians are
involved in dozens of performances of the St Matthew Passion in
Holy Week, with hundreds of thousands listening in churches and
concert halls, or gathered around the radio, to what has been
described as ?the Gospel according to Bach?.Bringing together all
of his works, this dynamic 142-CD set offers a resounding
impression of this great spirit of our Western culture, presenting
dynamic performances ? many period-based, many acclaimed by the
international press ? that are divided according to genre, thus
making for a highly user-friendly compendium. The set draws on all
periods of his career, tracing the development of a style that was
much influenced by contemporary and past fashions but which was
always adapted to Bach?s own purpose, often far surpassing the
models on which he drew. The German composer travelled a great deal
from city to city, and the different circumstances of his various
positions are reflected in the great range of works comprising his
output: while his early years are dominated by much keyboard music,
on account of the numerous organist posts he held during this
period, later positions at various courts accorded him more
personal and artistic freedom ? in Cöthen, for example, Prince
Leopold?s passion for music-making and his renowned resident
orchestra resulted in a string of unforgettable works including the
Brandenburg Concertos, the Solo Cello Suites and the Well-Tempered
Clavier Part 1, beside many others.Bach was a master of all genres,
whether sacred, secular, instrumental or vocal, and his oeuvre is a
rich mixture of severe Baroque craftsmanship and expressive
Romanticism. Thomas Zehetmair, Kristóf Baráti, the
Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, René Jacobs, Peter Schreier and Lucia
Popp are just a handful of the first-class performers and ensembles
gracing this set. At the bargain price of ?100, it is a collection
not to be passed up.Other information:- 142 CDs representing the
