The
Notebook of Anna Magdalena Bach (Highlights)
Johann Sebastian Bach Nicholas McGegan - harpsichord & clavichord Lorraine Hunt Lieberson - mezzo-soprano David Bowles - baroque cello The enticing personality of Mrs. Bach comes to life in this varied bouquet of pieces taken from the "Notebook", which Johann Sebastian had given to his wife in 1725. Hand-copied into the richly bound, gold-stamped volume, is an engaging series of miniatures in galant style, along with songs and arias that Anna Magdalena – a former court singer – wrote down for her own delight. ´ Le Petit Livre est une œuvre à part – qui a son histoire, son mystère – dans la production du Cantor, une sorte d’ ´ album souvenir ª cher à l’imaginaire autant qu’à l’oreille du mélomane… Un disque poétiquement animé et rythmé. ª — Diapason |
