ArtHaus Musik 100292 |
1999 |
DVD / TT: 59 min |
Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London, England.
Producer: Colin Wilson; Director: Manfred Waffender; Executive Producers: Reiner L. Moritz, Felix Schmidt; Audio Director: Gary Stewart; Lighting Director: John Burgess; Comissioning Editor, for ZDF-Arte: Gabriele Faust, Dieter Schneider; Editor: Thomas Wellmann; Seniotr Cameraman: Keith Gibson; Cameramen: Duncan Cross, Geoff Greenslade, Dave Matthews, Steve Jellyman, Sam Morrison, Joe Piotrowski. A Spektrum TV/RM Arts production in association with ZDF-ARTE.
This present film of the rehearsal of Bach's Canata BWV 63 is intercut with comments from the singers and an interview with John Eliot Gardiner. He talks incisively about Bach’s music as a whole, the place of the cantatas in the composer’s oeuvre, the particular structure and brilliance of “Christen, ätzet diesen Tag”, and explains something of his reasons for championing authentic rendition.
1st recording of Cantata BWV 63 by J.E. Gardiner.
Most probably the same reccording as [C-10] above.
