Cantatas: 137, 79, 140 Main Performer or Conductor: Karl Richter Accompaniment/Orchestra: Munich State Opera Orchestra Instrumentation: Choir Orchestra Individual Works: BWV 137: Loben der Herren BWV 140: Wachet Auf BWV 79: Gott ist mein Sohn und Schield Format: Compact Disc Record Label: Teldec Year Released/Recorded: 1956 Total Playing Time: 60 minutes Comments: Ko Unoki said: Although Teldec had recently re-issued a whole set of recordings of Bach cantatas made by Karl Richter, strangely enough, BWV 137, 140, 78 have not seen the light yet on CD's. It's a shame as some of these performances are absolutely electrifying and capture the essence of the young Richter's growing awareness of the essence of Bach's music.
