JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH Cantatas (2005 Italian 4 CDs containing 5 individual discs - releases 13 to 16 in the long-awaited series of live recordings, made on the artists' Bach Cantata Pilgrimage of 2000. The cantatas were performed on the feastdays for which they were written and this series will be the first to reflect those couplings. Each set is sumptuously packaged in a beautiful case-bound book, with stunning cover photos by Steve McCurry, detailed programme notes adapted fromJohn Eliot Gardiner's Pilgrimage Journal, and full sung texts and translations. The cases show a little shelfwear, and some discs show light signs of play SDG159/110/168/171)
