The Ricercar Consort have already been awarded a Radio 3 disc of the Week and a Gramophone Editor's Choice for their Bach recordings for Mirare. Here they present three sacred cantatas, among the earliest written by the young Johann Sebastian in his first posts as Kapellmeister in Mühlausen and Weimar, for Easter. They display the heritage and influence of the old master Buxtehude, but also the force, the modernity, and the genius of the future Kantor.
Cantata BWV131 'Aus der Tiefe rufe ich, Herr, zu dir'
Cantata BWV182 'Himmelskönig, sei willkommen'
Cantata BWV4 'Christ lag in Todesbanden' (Easter Cantata)
