German cantatas with solo violin

Description

Johannes Pramsohler and his Ensemble Diderot are joined here by top-notch singers and bring together all the German cantatas for solo violin on a fascinating album. Johann Pachelbel, Daniel Eberlin, and Johann Christoph Bach, along with Johann Ambrosius Bach, the father of Johann Sebastian Bach, formed the core of the musical life of Eisenach. They are joined here by Nicolaus Bruhns and Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber, renowned for their striking and highly evocative compositions. Blending precision, passion, and sometimes even intense devotion, Ensemble Diderot takes hold of these masterpieces of German composition, far above the standard musical and rhetorical formulas of the time.
