  • Description

    Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach was a child of his times, which were characterised by new beginnings and profound changes in the political and cultural arena as well as in the societal and philosophical spheres.

    The “Miserere� and the motet “Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme� on this recording beautifully document these transformations. MDG is now presenting an archive production that has achieved historic status. Hermann Max, a pioneer in the field of historically informed performance practice, performs with the Rheinische Kantorei and his “Das
    Kleine Konzert� ensemble in a production for the
    Western German Radio (WDR).

    The original heavy content of the “Miserere� (which resurfaced at a London auction in 1975) was slightly changed by the composer to become a penitential psalm with elegant melodic leading and relaxed articulation.

    Composed hardly ten years after the “Miserere,� the
    motet “Wachet auf! ruft uns die Stimme� reveals an entirely different picture. The music emancipates itself from pure textual interpretation and assumes an independent shape.
