About

Bach’s choral oeuvre has marked an obvious gap in the huge recorded repertoire of The Hilliard Ensemble - which ranges from Perotinus Magnus to contemporary composition. Now the four singers, David James, Rogers Covey-Crump, Steven Harrold and Gordon Jones – one of the great vocal groups of the age – present their a-cappella readings of J S Bach‘s wonderful motets, fascinating us once again with their seamless blend of sound and unique intonation. For this recording, the Hilliards are enhanced by four additional voices (Joanne Lunn, Rebecca Outram - sopranos; David Gould: counter tenor - Robert Macdonald - bass) to form a soloist double choir.
 
The new disc is not their first recording of Bach: the celebrated Christoph Poppen/Hilliard performance of Bach’s "Ciaconna" which revealed "hidden chorales", Morimur, was released to vast acclaim in 2001 and remains a best-seller. It was named ‘CD of the Week’ by The Observer, The Guardian and Music Week, was an Editor’s Choice in Gramophone, and Disc of the Month on BBC Radio 3’s CD Review.
