  • Description

    "It is enough" – Within this new CD, as part of their ongoing series, Gordon Safari and his ensemble BachWerkVokal have once again built a programme around these words that are rich in their associations to secular choral music.

    As always, BachWerkVokal is on top form. The accomplished ensemble, with only a few singers, is contrasted by an equally flexible instrumental ensemble of various wind and percussion instruments. Gordon Safari shapes this with stylistic confidence.

    Through choral works by Bach, Alma Mahler, Schelle and Gruchmann, Safari and BachWerkVokal tackle both historical and modern writing with ease. The use of the entire church hall for the recording of Gruchmann's cantata provides a spatial sound that shines through on Super Audio CD.

    "A perky rendering of Bach's motet Komm, Jesu, komm is contrasted by Schelle's gentle Komm, Jesu, komm. Bach's celebrated cantata Ich habe genug is the central work in the sequence, and exquisite, understated performance from bass Max Tavella. […] In an altogether satisfying sequence of pieces, BachWerkVokal under Gordon Safari are at their very best, showing total commitment throughout. An excellent release." – Choir & Organ (5 STARS)
