Miriam Feuersinger - Dialog-Kantaten - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

?In Johann Sebastian Bach's vast oeuvre of cantatas, his dialogue cantatas occupy a very special position as if in a personal dialogue, the 'Christian soul' (soprano) and 'Christ' (bass) enter into a dialogue, which Bach sets to music with the highest emotional power, almost like in an opera. Bach refers to the words of Martin Luther, according to whom Inchfaith unites the soul with Christ as a bride with her bridegroomInch, and thus ties in with the medieval idea of bridal mysticism. And so this dialogue becomes a spiritual Inchlove duetInch, as it were, which Miriam Feuersinger and Klaus Mertens - both of whom are among the great Bach interpreters of our time - interpret here in the most intimate way. The two cantatas InchIch geh und suche mit VerlangenInch BWV 49 and InchLiebster Jesu, mein VerlangenInch BWV 32 are complemented by Christoph Graupner's Oboe Concerto in C major GWV 302, performed by oboist Elisabeth Grümmer.
