Voices of bach

Description

DETECT THE CANTATAS OF BACH IN A NEW LIGHT... Albrecht Mayer, principal oboist of the Berlin Philharmonic, has unanimous acclaim from critics for his silky and agile playing. He is also highly appreciated by the general public for his albums of great originality. Albrecht Mayer today returns to his "musical homeland": Bach. For Voices of Bach, Albrecht Mayer and his arranger Andreas Tarkmann have adapted the most beautiful Cantatas of Bach for the oboe. In these arrangements, the oboe always takes the solo part, whether it was vocal or instrumental in the original version. Albrecht Mayer plays here for the first time with a choir specialized in early music: the English ensemble Trinity Baroque. "I was afraid that the oboe and the sung voices would compete with each other. Not at all: it works very, very well!"
