Bach – Solo Cantatas for Bass, Dominik Wörner – 18-Track CD

A Bach CD for slowing down and listening

Settle in, start the disc and make room for music. This CD of Bach’s solo bass cantatas accompanies a peaceful evening or a focused listening break. The meeting of voice and instruments invites you to enjoy the nuances of each movement.

Dominik Wörner and Il Gardellino

Bass singer Dominik Wörner is at the heart of this album with Il Gardellino. The programme brings together cantatas BWV 82, 158, 56 and 203. Arias, recitatives and chorales unfold over 18 tracks, ending with an alternative version of BWV 158/2 with violin.

Spiritual expression and human emotion

The sacred cantatas evoke peace, trust and the journey of faith. Amore traditore, a secular cantata in Italian, adds a contrasting colour. This interplay between reflection and human expression makes the programme rewarding to explore.

For an admirer of Bach, classical singing or Baroque music, give an album to discover and revisit. At home, use a compatible audio CD player and enjoy a listening moment without rushing.

An album to keep in your collection

This 2013 Passacaille edition gathers four cantatas and an alternative track in a physical format to treasure. A lovely way to expand a collection and follow the programme through its individual movements.
