Overture No. 6 in G minor
Trocknet euch ihr heissen Zahren
Orchestral Suite No. 1 in C major, BWV1066
Vergnügte Ruh, beliebte Seelenlust, BWV170
Widely celebrated as one of the greatest countertenors of
his generation, York-born Iestyn Davies joins the Dunedin Consort
in two of Bach’s most intimate church cantatas. The elegant poetry
of Vergnügte Ruh, beliebte Seelenlust and startling intensity
of Widerstehe doch der Sünde are paired with works by two of Bach’s
most important predecessors, whose music glows with the same
easy contrapuntal fluidity and expressive detail. One of Bach’s
sparkling Orchestral Suites completes this rich and intricate picture of
the German Baroque.
‘John Butt conducts Bach’s eternal masterpieces as though the music
were the elixir of life’ The Times
