Das Wohltemperierte Clavier, Book II |
|
|
Peter Watchorn (pedal harpsichord) |
|
|
By the 1740s, J. S. Bach was engaged in the task of bringing his life’s work to some kind of final
form. By 1742 he had compiled a second collection of preludes and fugues in all the possible major
and minor keys, which he named Das Wohltemperierte Clavier, Part II, complementing his
original set from twenty years earlier. Peter Watchorn presents this monumental work using a
German-style harpsichord and pedal harpsichord in performances of unrivalled depth and power |

Sonatas for flute and harpsichord |
|
|
Douglas Worthen (flute)
Ursula Dütschler (harpsichord) |
|
|
Joseph Bodin de Boismortier (1689-1755) was the most successful freelance composer in France
during the first half of the 18th century, with over a hundred published opuses appearing
during his lifetime. The “six sonates” for flute and obbligato harpsichord, op. 91, are among
the most celebrated works to appear in Paris in the wake of Rameau’s 1741 publication of his
Pièces de claveçin en concerts. Douglas Worthen and Ursula Dütschler provide exemplary
performances of these little-known masterworks. |

Chiara Margarita Cozzolani - Salmi a Otto Voci Concertati, Venice 1650 |

|
Magnificat - Warren Stewart (Artistic Director) |
|
|
Over the last twenty years, performances and scholarship have given us some idea of
the remarkable musical world of cloistered nuns in early modern Italy. Magnificat’s
recording of the complete 1650 publication by one such nun, Chiara Margarita
Cozzolani (1602-c.1677), testifies to both her own musical creativity and to the high
skills of the musicians in her Benedictine house of Santa Radegonda in Milan. |

J.S. Bach - The Complete Motets |
|
|
Trinity Wall Street - Julian Wachner, conductor |
|
|
Bach’s seven motets represent the continuation of a long and distinguished tradition of
vocal composition, dating back to the late medieval works of Dufay. Bach’s motets
represent the apogee of the genre and are his most demanding vocal works. The present
recording is the first in a new series with the musical forces of Trinity Wall Street,
conducted by Julian Wachner. It is released to commemorate the 10th anniversary
of September 11, 2001. |

The Six French Suites, BWV 812-817;
Little Preludes, BWV 924-943 |
|
|
Peter Watchorn (harpsichord) |
|
|
Bach’s six French Suites, BWV 812-817 are among the composer’s most satisfyingly melodious works for
keyboard. Less demanding than the great English Suites and Partitas, they represent Bach at his most
tuneful and galant, giving the lie to any notion that his music was always severe in its contrapuntal
demands, or lacking in melodic sensuousness. Completing this set are the short preludes from the
Clavierbüchlein for Wilhelm Friedemann, composed to develop the musical skills of Bach’s children. |

George Frideric Handel - Israel in Egypt, HWV 54 |
|
|
Orchestra and Choir of Trinity Wall Street - Julian Wachner, Conductor |
|
|
Israel in Egypt, Handel’s grand choral
oratorio experiment, was a failure when
first presented in London in 1739, yet
it may well be the greatest work
Handel ever composed. In 1756 the
composer literally re-thought the work,
substituting an entirely new first part.
This recording presents both versions:
Handel’s 1756 revision and the original
part 1 from 1739. Julian Wachner
makes his debut with the famous
choir and baroque orchestra of
Trinity Wall Street, in New York. |
