VOCES8 with the Senesino Players, directed by Barnaby Smith: Bach Motets

"Given the scale of Bach's oeuvre, one might assume that there may not be too much to gather about the composer from a mere six motets, a form otherwise unrepresented in his repertory. However, Bach's motets are among the greatest of his output.

Through the media of text and music the six motets emanate from Bach's religious faith and demonstrate the essential parallels between this belief and his art. It is this brilliance that motivated VOCES8's recording of Bach's motets, inspiringthe ensemble to communicate his music with passion and exuberance."
