Bach Motets from Solomon's Knot in Manchester
Motets by Johann Christoph and Johann Sebastian Bach from Baroque music collective, Solomon's Knot, in Manchester.
Elements of JS Bach鈥檚 motet style can be traced back to the previous generation of his family, when his father鈥檚 cousins Johann Christoph and Johann Michael Bach experimented with soprano chorale cantus firmus and audacious harmonic language at the service of the text. Alongside Johann Sebastian鈥檚 well-known masterpieces, Solomon鈥檚 Knot perform a number of works by the 鈥榩rofund鈥� and 鈥榚xpressive鈥� Johann Christoph, as JSB himself did in Leipzig in the final years of his life.
Recorded at The Stoller Hall in Manchester on 4th December 2024.
Presented by Mark Forrest.
