More Details on Bach’s Pupils- Motets
Another beautiful release from Carus - Motets by the best of Bach’s pupils, all original and highly skilled composers in their own right.
Seldom heard works from Bach’s pupils are just waiting here to be discovered! The unique compositional styles of motets by Gottfried August Homilius, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach or Johann Philipp Kirnberger show once again the originality of the generation of composers after Johann Sebastian Bach.
In spite of individual references to their teacher in each of the works recorded here, the independence which they exercised, their further compositional development and how they distanced themselves stylistically from the master are clearly evident.
Peter Kopp and the Vocal Concert Dresden (formerly known as the 'Körnersche Sing-Verein') realize the emotional potential and multi-layered aspects of these works most convincingly in a moving interpretation.
Excellent performances, including world premiere recordings.
