The Apocryphal Bach Cantatas Main Performer or Conductor: Wolfgang Helbich Accompaniment/Orchestra: Alsfelder Vokalensemble/Steintor Barock Bremen Soloists: Johanna Koslowsky Kai Wessel Harry Geraerts Phillip Langshaw Instrumentation: Vocal Choir Orchestra Individual Works: Cantata BWV 217 Cantata BWV 218 Cantata BWV 219 Canata BWV 220 Canata BWV 221 Cantata BWV 222 Format: Compact Disc Record Label: CPO Catalog Number: CPO 999 139-2 Year Released/Recorded: 1992 Total Playing Time: 101:23 Comments: Simon Crouch said: OK, it's cheating! Although transmitted in the hand of Bach, these days, none of these works are thought to be by JSB. Two are by Telemann, one by J.E.Bach and three are unknown (and remain in appendix II of the BWV). Still, it's fascinating to hear the sort of works that JSB thought worthwhile performing. Helbich's forces give a thoughtful, well-played-and-sung account of these attractive works. Recommended if you're grubbing around the periphery of Bach's works.
