Well, stuff like this is bound to turn up eventually what with all the unexplored archives, unattributed manuscripts and copies of manuscripts... So, here we have a a 1713 birthday ode to Duke Wilhelm Ernst of Saxe-Weimar, discovered in June of this year and rushed to disc, with a booklet full of supporting scholarship. Part of the Gardiner Cantata series (famously dumped by DG and picked up at Gardiner's own expense - three releases are already available and the fourth is coeval with this CD!) German-English texts. Elin Manahan Thomas (soprano, BWV 1127) and other soloists, The Monteverdi Choir, The English Baroque Soloists; John Eliot Gardiner. Soli Deo Gloria SGD 114 (England) 11H022 $18.98 |
