About

Having recorded the complete motets composed by the ancestors of Johann Sebastian Bach (RIC347), Vox Luminis now tackles their complete spiritual concerts and sacred cantatas, in which the instruments – particularly the strings – play a highly important role. In the cantata for the Feast of St Michael the Archangel by Johann Christoph Bach, trumpets and drums are enlisted to evoke the battle of the archangels in heaven. To round off this programme, Vox Luminis presents the cantata Christ lag in Todesbanden by Johann Sebastian Bach, in its original version dating from his Arnstadt period, containing copious elements linking it to the music of his forebears.

"Vox Luminis's blend is marked by a pleasing astringency in the alto line, and supple singing from the sopranos and baritones, Meunier among them...over two hours of outstanding musicality and serious musicianship." – BBC Music Magazine on RIC347
