About This Item
Christoph Graupner (1683-1760) was, during his lifetime, just as renowned and beloved as his contemporary Johann Sebastian Bach. However, unlike the InchBach RevivalInch that began in 1829, Graupner's rediscovery only started in the early 20th century. To this day, a significant portion of his over 2,000 works remains unpublished. Pandolfis Consort, founded by violist Elzbieta Sajka-Bachler and performing on period instruments, presents three of Christoph Graupner's more than 1,400 church cantatas, featuring Austrian soprano Lisa Rombach. The texts are based on the works of Georg Christian Lehms (1684-1717), and the mood of these cantatas-titled InchAngst und JammerInch (InchFear and MiseryInch), InchFurcht und ZagenInch (InchDread and TremblingInch), and InchVerleih, dass ich aus HerzensgrundInch (InchGrant That I May from the Depths of My HeartInch)-inspires this album's title InchLamentareInch. As interludes, two of Graupner's instrumental chamber works are featured excerpts from InchEntrata per la musica di tavolaInch in G minor (GWV 468) and the Sonata in G minor (GWV 724).
