Bach Motets from Solomon's Knot in Manchester
Motets by Johann Christoph and Johann Sebastian Bach from Baroque music collective, Solomon's Knot, in Manchester.
Elements of JS Bach’s motet style can be traced back to the previous generation of his family, when his father’s cousins Johann Christoph and Johann Michael Bach experimented with soprano chorale cantus firmus and audacious harmonic language at the service of the text. Alongside Johann Sebastian’s well-known masterpieces, Solomon’s Knot perform a number of works by the ‘profund’ and ‘expressive’ Johann Christoph, as JSB himself did in Leipzig in the final years of his life.
Recorded at The Stoller Hall in Manchester on 4th December 2024.
Presented by Mark Forrest.
