E. L. Stricker

At the heart of the Köthener Bachfesttage is the ensemble founded expressly for the festival, the Köthener BachCollektiv. This is an exceptional company of eminent musicians spanning three generations that meets in Köthen every other year and has embarked on a musical journey of discovery with works newly restored to the repertoire. At the 2022 Bachfesttage, and on this recording, new reconstructions of Bach concertos and some long forgotten works by his Köthen colleagues set the tone. The consequence, under the direction of violinists Midori Seiler and Mayumi Hirasaki, is a strikingly vivid musical portrait of the Köthen Hofkapelle, which recreates the excellent working conditions and musical opportunities available to Johann Sebastian Bach in Köthen.

Under the direction of violin virtuoso Midori Seiler, this album presents a very lively musical portrait of the Köthener Hofkapelle, now revived as Köthener BachCollectiv. With exceptional virtuosos and composers, Bach went to the limits of what was then playable and experimented with instruments, scorings, sounds and musical forms; New reconstructions of Bach Concertos BWV 1056R & 1064R by Midori Seiler - Musical treasures and world premiere recordings by A. R. Stricker (Sonata D major), J. Spieß (Concerto E minor) and G. Linike (Suite D major)

This CD introduces some of the most fascinating music from the music books that once belonged to the musical lawyer, friend and heir of Erasmus of Rotterdam, Bonifacius Amerbach (1495-1562). A release primarily devoted to the music of little-known composers active during the first half of the sixteenth century in the Alsace and Baden-Württemberg regions.
