Thomascantors In Dialogue Thomas Triesschijn, Counterpoint Xl

This is an album that portrays an imaginary audition that took place in Leipzig in 1723. After Johann Kuhnau’s death the Thomaskirche was in search of a new Kantor. For different reasons Telemann, Fasch and Graupner declined and the fourth choice happened to be Johann Sebastian Bach. This ensemble imagines a dialogue among the four giants through their own compositions for recorder and orchestra. (Challenge)
