One of the most popular of the Nativity cantatas is certainly No. 122, performed the Sunday after Christmas, “The new-born baby,” with its motet-like opening chorus and flavored orchestral ritornellos that underline its pastoral nature. The recitative with three recorders playing the choir of angels is one of the most unusual and touching moments in all of Bach. No. 61, “Now come, Savior of the heathens” is an early Weimar cantata, dating from 1714, where the opening chorale is placed in the context of a French overture, its processional feeling perfectly suited to the first Sunday of Advent. Bach even submitted this work as an examination piece for the post of Cantor at the Thomas School; it was rejected as too theatrical.
Though the Rifkin doctrine is going to be exalted in the series, there is something delightfully unaffected about these performances that keep drawing me back to them. Perhaps it is the lack of “big” names (though Charles Daniels certainly has a following), or maybe the sense that all involved here are madly in love with the composer and his music, are not setting out to prove any points, and present these works with love and affection—I don’t know. I certainly plan to keep up with it. The sound is very expressive and lively, though some may be put off by the fact that the full “chorus” blends rather than stands out from the orchestra. Singers are one to a part, and I’ll leave it at that, while the orchestra is about 22, conductor Milnes filling in at the organ. We seem to be in the midst of a Bach cantata binge, and that is always welcome.–Steven E. Ritter
