Description:

The cpo label is dedicated to the revival of Telemann's works, and this album is the second in a project to record all 72 cantatas composed for the 1714/15 church cycle (liturgical cycle) in a large format. This 2-CD set includes nine cantatas from the 22nd through 24th Sundays of the Lenten Season (Oculi), Easter, and the post-Tridentine cycle, offering Telemann's excellent musical expression for each occasion. The project, under the direction of Felix Koch, is a vocal ensemble "Gutenberg Soloists," a group of young singers selected for this project, along with veteran singers with a proven track record in baroque singing, such as Hans Christoph Beegemann and Hans-Jörg Mammel. The Gutenberg Soloists, a vocal ensemble of young singers selected for this project, will perform. This is a disc that should be enjoyed not only by Telemann fans but also by many others. Naxos Japan
