John Butt directs Dunedin Consort, one of the world's leading Baroque ensembles, in this collection of three of Bach's finest cantatas. Together, they explore the timely themes of consolation and salvation. Having previously received exceptional critical acclaim for recordings of Bach's Mass in B minor (which was named a Benchmark Recording by BBC Music Magazine) and John Passion (nominated for both a 2014 ICMA and a 2013 Gramophone Award), Dunedin Consort now cements its impressive Bachian credentials with these three cantatas. Bass Matthew Brook takes centre stage in the melancholic yet optimistic Ich habe genug, with soprano Joanne Lunn joining him to portray the searching dialogue of Jesus and the Soul in the profoundly beautiful Liebster Jesu, mein Verlangen. Known as 'Actus tragicus', the early cantata Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit is an altogether grander affair. Likely intended for a funeral, it stands out in Bach's output both for its sublime choruses and its unusual instrumentation - notably the two oscillating recorders in the introduction, which set the tone for one of Bach's most heartfelt and quietly uplifting cantatas.
"..the new Linn recording would be among my top two or three recommendations for each of the three cantatas which it contains." MusicWeb
"As with all their releases, John Butt and the Dunedins approach the scores from a scholarly angle (Butt's approachable notes guide us through various musical and liturgical considerations) but it's the heart rather than the head that informs their music-making." BBC Music Magazine Awards 2022 WINNER - Choral
"Top-notch recordings of Bach's cantatas haven't been thin on the ground recently, but even so this latest one, from Edinburgh's Dunedin Consort stands out…Throughout it all, there's the same sense of rightness and lightness in the way John Butt directs the music, and of individually characterful musicians coming together with a single purpose. It's a seriously uplifting recording" The Guardian
