About

Bach's motets are monoliths of the Baroque and place great artistic and technical demands on their interpreters: so they are in good hands with the Solomon's Knot ensemble under Jonathan Sells. The recording contains all the motets of Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750), placed here in the context of the music of the previous generation of the Bach dynasty that shaped him.

"This is the first of a series of location-specific Solomon's Knot recording projects. We chose Arnstadt's inspirational Bachkirche for these works, not only for its wonderful acoustic, but also as a place which connects the two Bachs: Johann Christoph was born in Arnstadt, and Johann Sebastian's first job as an organist was at the church, which came to be named after him." - Solomon's Knot

Spotlight on this release

Awards and reviews

December 2023

It was a happy decision to juxtapose the music of these two family members. The performances by this talented group of singers , eight in all to accommodate the generally called for eight-voice double choir, are sensitive to textual and musical detail.
