Review by Marni Bates

Album Review: Cantatas BWV 51, 199, 202 & Arias Cantatas BWV 68, 208 by Bach Alright, let’s talk about this album—Cantatas BWV 51, 199, 202 & Arias Cantatas BWV 68, 208. It’s a deep dive into some of Johann Sebastian Bach’s most iconic cantatas, with Elisabeth Schwarzkopf absolutely owning the soprano vocals. Released in 1999 under EMI Classics, it’s got that rich Baroque vibe mixed with choral and religious feels. If you’re into classical music but don’t want to feel like you’re sitting through a history lecture, this one might be up your alley. First off, gotta shout out to the tracks “Jauchzet Gott In Allen Landen” (BWV 51) and “Bist Du Bei Mir.” These two stuck with me for different reasons. “Jauchzet Gott In Allen Landen” is just... wow. Like fireworks on a crisp winter night. Elisabeth Schwarzkopf’s voice soars here, effortlessly blending power and grace. The trumpet part adds this golden shimmer to the whole thing—it’s celebratory without being over-the-top. You can tell everyone involved was feeling it when they recorded this. Every time I hear it, I get this weird urge to stand up straighter or maybe even pretend I’m in an old European church, which is wild because I’m usually just lounging on my couch scrolling TikTok. Then there’s “Bist Du Bei Mir,” which is technically from Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel, not Bach, but hey, it fits right in. This track hits different—it’s intimate, almost like a secret shared between friends. Schwarzkopf’s delivery is soft yet full of emotion, and Gerald Moore’s piano accompaniment feels like a warm hug. Honestly, if you’ve ever felt lonely or needed a little comfort, this piece will wrap itself around you. No joke—I played it during a rough patch last year, and it genuinely helped. Music therapy at its finest. The production quality deserves props too. Remastered by Andrew Walter, the sound is crystal clear, letting all those intricate details shine through. Whether it’s Josef Niedermayr’s flute floating above the orchestra or Karl Maurer’s cello adding depth, every instrument has room to breathe. And kudos to Otto Klemperer and Peter Gellhorn for their conducting—they keep things tight while still giving performers space to express themselves. What really makes this album special though is how alive it feels. Sure, it’s technically “religious” music, but it doesn’t come across as preachy or stiff. Instead, it’s packed with human emotions—joy, longing, hope, sorrow. Listening to it feels less like admiring art from afar and more like stepping into someone else’s soul for a bit. One random thought before I wrap this up: isn’t it kinda funny how we’re listening to centuries-old music in 2023, and it still slaps? Like, imagine Bach walking into a Spotify office today. He’d probably freak out over streaming royalties—or lack thereof. Anyway, point is, Cantatas BWV 51, 199, 202 & Arias Cantatas BWV 68, 208 proves great music doesn’t have an expiration date. Give it a spin—you won’t regret it.

About Bach, Elisabeth Schwarzkopf

Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21, 1685 in Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany. A prolific German composer and organist, his sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra and solo instruments drew together the strands of the baroque genre and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Although he introduced no new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, a control of harmonic and motivic organisation from the smallest to the largest scales, and the adaptation of rhythms and textures from abroad, particularly Italy and France. Many people consider him to be the greatest Baroque composer, and one of the greatest composers of all time. Revered for their intellectual depth, technical command and artistic beauty, J.S. Bach's works include the Brandenburg concertos, the keyboard suites and partitas, the Mass in B Minor, the St. Matthew Passion, The Musical Offering, The Art of Fugue and a large number of cantatas, of which about 220 survive. He died on July 28, 1750. Some of his sons also became composers - , , and .

Interesting fact about Album

Did you know? The album "Cantatas BWV 51 199 202 Arias Cantatas BWV 68 208" features a track called "Bist Du Bei Mir," often attributed to Johann Sebastian Bach. But here’s the twist—it wasn’t actually written by him! The piece was composed by Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel, a contemporary of Bach. Somehow, it got mixed into Bach’s collection and has been mistaken for his work ever since. Funny how history plays tricks on us, huh?
