Info for Trinity: J.S. Bach Soprano Arias

Bach wrote great songs and here is a collection of his finest, some well-known, others less common. Every track in this selection includes oboe or flute solo alongside the soprano, and the collection is unfailingly melodic, romantic, and moving. An elite group of six musicians, three from Austria, three from NZ, give sumptuous performances of these tracks, led by the gorgeous emerging Viennese soprano Ursula Langmayr.

Backing is a "collaborative journey of musician'' colleagues from opposite ends of the globe: Alison Dunlop, of Auckland (oboe, oboe d'amour and cor anglais), Uwe Grodd, the German conductor based in New Zealand (flute and bass flute), Eric Lamb, from Vienna (flute), Martin Rummel, from Vienna (cello) and James Tibbles, of Auckland (organ and harpsichord).

The programme of 13 arias certainly shows how Bach expresses the Christian doctrine of Trinity by his sublime trinity of vocal solo line with obbligato and continuo.

"This beautifully recorded album introduces us to Ursula Langmayr who's full-bodied but pliant tone suits this repertoire perfectly."
