My Bach Cantata project took several steps forward yesterday when I
received in the mail 8 LPs, covering 16 cantatas, including 13 that I
didn't have. I now only have about 18 to go to have a full set. I sure
love these works. The present LPs are from the Harnoncourt/Concentus
Musicus complete edition on Telefunken. Telefunken LPs have never
appeared much on the "Super Recordings" lists, but I find their sound
(in general) to be very, very, natural. Highly recommended.

It's almost 80 degrees here today, but I think that I might stay inside
and listen to these fabulous recordings while doing my taxes ;-)

There's so much to learn from those. Cantatas, that is. I wouldn't wish
a musician's taxes on anyone. I like the clips of Gardiner's groups from
St Thomas that show up on that satellite arts channel.

My Half Price Bach find this week is a Capriccio sampler of arias from
various works. It will be interesting to hear the contrast of voices and
accompaniments.
