Johann Sebastian Bach, Collegium Vocale Gent, Philippe Herreweghe - Ich Elender Mensch Leipzig Cantatas
Review by Aaron Gardner
The album Ich Elender Mensch Leipzig Cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach, Collegium Vocale Gent, Philippe Herreweghe is a beautiful masterpiece that showcases the intricate and complex compositions of Bach. The album features six cantatas that were written during Bach's time as the Thomaskantor in Leipzig, Germany.
The performances by Collegium Vocale Gent and Philippe Herreweghe are impeccable, with the choir and orchestra working in perfect harmony to bring Bach's music to life. The vocalists have a deep understanding of the music and deliver the lyrics with passion and emotion.
The album opens with the hauntingly beautiful "Ich elender Mensch, wer wird mich erlösen," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Each cantata has its own unique character, from the joyful "Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis" to the introspective "Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ."
The recording quality is excellent, with a clean and natural sound that allows the music to shine. The liner notes are informative and provide a deeper understanding of the music and its historical context.

About Johann Sebastian Bach, Collegium Vocale Gent, Philippe Herreweghe
Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21, 1685 in Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany. A prolific German composer and organist, his sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra and solo instruments drew together the strands of the baroque genre and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Although he introduced no new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, a control of harmonic and motivic organisation from the smallest to the largest scales, and the adaptation of rhythms and textures from abroad, particularly Italy and France. Many people consider him to be the greatest Baroque composer, and one of the greatest composers of all time.
Revered for their intellectual depth, technical command and artistic beauty, J.S. Bach's works include the Brandenburg concertos, the keyboard suites and partitas, the Mass in B Minor, the St. Matthew Passion, The Musical Offering, The Art of Fugue and a large number of cantatas, of which about 220 survive. He died on July 28, 1750.
Some of his sons also became composers - , , and .
