Biography
Johann Sebastian Bach was a prolific German composer and organist whose sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra, and solo instruments drew together the strands of the Baroque period and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Although he introduced no new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, a control of harmonic and motivic organization from the smallest to the largest scales, and the adaptation of rhythms and textures from abroad, particularly Italy and France.
While Bach's fame as an organist was great during his lifetime, he was not particularly well-known as a composer. His adherence to Baroque forms and contrapuntal style was considered "old-fashioned" by his contemporaries, especially late in his career when the musical fashion tended towards Rococo and later Classical styles. A revival of interest and performances of his music began early in the 19th century, and he is now widely considered to be one of the greatest composers in the Western tradition.

Recordings of interest
BWV | Title | Performers | Orchestra | Medium | Label | Notes |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
35, 54, 170 | Bach: Cantatas for alto | Andreas Scholl, Marcel Ponseele, Markus Markl | Collegium Vocale Orchestra | 1 CD 1999 | Harmonia Mundi 314902016440 | |
172, 68, 1 | Bach Kantaten (1) | Arleen Augér, Ortrun Wenkel, Peter Schreier, Theo Adam | Rotzsch, Neues Bachisches Collegium Musicum | CD 1981-1983 | Berlin Classics 0021502BC | Highlights: Arleen Augér, Peter Schreier, Ludwig Güttler trumpet, good tempos and control of Thomanerchor by Rotzsch |
137, 21 | Bach Kantaten (3) | Arleen Augér, Ortrun Wenkel, Peter Schreier, Theo Adam | CD 1981-1983 | Leipzig Classics BC-2175-2 | ||
140, 61, 36 | Bach: Kantaten (7) | Arleen Augér, Peter Schreier, Siegfried Lorenz | CD 1980-1983 | Berlin Classics 0020992BC | ||
110, 71 | Bach: Kantaten (8) | Arleen Augér, Ortrun Wenkel, Peter Schreier, Siegfried Lorenz | CD 1981-1982 | Berlin Classics 0021002BC | ||

The last chorus is especially moving, given the history of Dresden in the decades before 1970. See review here. |
245 | Johannes-Passion | Hermann Prey, Evelyn Lear, Ernst Haefliger, Hertha Töpper | Karl Richter, Münchener Bach-Chor & Münchener Bach-Orchester | 2 CD 1964 | Deutsche Grammophon 453-007-2 | Definitely a romantic interpretation, but one that improves with age. |
