For a very long time it has been my most ardent wish to perform and record J. S. Bach’s secular and church cantatas.
A lot has changed in “Early Music land” since the historical recordings by Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Gustav Leonhardt.
In 1994 I signed a contract with Erato to make a complete recording of the cantatas and during the festive dinner afterwards no one could have guessed what unpleasant surprise the future had in store!
In 2001, Warner, which had taken over Erato, suddenly closed the company down and the search began for a daring new company with enough money to help us to finish the project. |
