BACH: Alles mit Gott, John Eliot Gardiner; The Monteverdi Choir and The English Baroque Soloists

$19.95

This is an exciting find: a hitherto unknown aria by Bach, discovered only last June (2004) in a German library. Composed in 1713, it’s a setting of a birthday poem for Bach’s employer at the ducal court of Weimar. Each stanza starts and ends with the duke’s motto, ‘All things with God, and naught without Him’. It’s charmingly sung here by Elin Manahan Thomas, and ravishingly played by the solo strings of the EBS. The rest of the disc consists of excerpts from Gardiner’s cantata pilgrimage.
