About

Both of these cantatas may have been written for an outstandingly gifted boy alto in Bach’s Leipzig, but—listening to these peerless accounts—it’s impossible to believe he could have approached Iestyn Davies’s flawless technique and profound interpretative insight.

February 2022

an altogether wonderful album entirely deserving of your time and money.

27th February 2022

The relative flamboyance of Bach’s works — Foster shining in the organ solo part, which the composer borrowed from one of his harpsichord concertos — are thrown into relief by the relative austerity of his forebears.
