Magnificat BWV 243 - Cantata BWV 21 - Motet BWV 225

This is a major release on ARTS' acclaimed series on authentic instruments. The fresh and alive performance is an irresistible result of the musical relationship among some of the best
European singers for baroque music, the baroque choir of the Swiss Radio and the instrumental Eensemble "Vanitas". The critics on the live performance that preceded this recording were
enthusiastic and one could reasonably believe that this edition could match the best ones offered in the market. The CD includes the famous Magnificat, one of the most well known Cantatas (BWV 225 "Singet dem Herrn") performed for choir, soloists and continuo.
The conductor Diego Fasolis is a Swiss specialist for baroque music and he is also the chorus master. This is the first release on a forecasted cooperation with the Swiss radio for releasing
some of the major masterpieces of the baroque music. Next to be released: Purcell's Ode for St. Cecilia's Day 1692 and Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary.
