For older fans BWV 201 will put a massive smile accross your face. This is one of the best Cd’s Bach, Johann Sebastian has dropped to date. BWV 201 is an amazing album, racked with beauty.Such great and happy songs.
This is one of those songs that musicians strive to write and create. Aria (Soprano): “Patron, das macht der Wind” (The Amsterdam Baroque) - This happy song is an ode to optimism and an anthem. I think Recitativo (Alto, Basso I, II): “Was braucht ihr euch zu zanken?” (The Amsterdam Baroque) is the best song Bach, Johann Sebastian has ever done. Best song on the album, love it. If you are a Bach, Johann Sebastian fan, you will love Recitativo (Soprano, Basso II): “Pan, ruecke deine Kehle nun” (The Amsterdam Baroque). After about the third Aria (Basso II): “Zu Tanze, zu Sprunge” (The Amsterdam Baroque) listen through, I began to believe this song is Bach, Johann Sebastian’s essence. Recitativo (Alto, Tenore I): “Nunmehro Richter her!” (The Amsterdam Baroque) has a fun tempo. Aria (Tenore I): “Phoebus, deine Melodei” (The Amsterdam Baroque) is simply excellent. Other tracks are good but your best bet is to stick with Recitativo (Tenore II, Basso II): “Komm, Midas, sage du nun an” (The Amsterdam Baroque). |titile| is a sure sign of something most of us are experiencing, maturity. Recitativo (Soprano, Alto, Tenore I, II, Basso I, II): “Wie, Midas, bist du toll?” (The Amsterdam Baroque) is marvelous and different song. Aria (Alto): “Aufgeblasne Hitze, aber wenig Gruetze” (The Amsterdam Baroque) is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. Recitativo (Soprano): “Du guter Midas, geh nun hin” (The Amsterdam Baroque) is the more seemingly obscure song on BWV 201 that bear up best to repeated listening. Coro: “Labt das Herz, ihr holden Saiten” (The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Chor, con. Ton Koopman.) - This one makes me want to not only sing along.
