Andreas Scholl Returns to His Roots with the Sublime Vocal Music of J. S. Bach
Andreas Scholl first sang the music of J. S. Bach as a boy chorister. Now the leading countertenor of our time returns to his musical roots with his own selection of arias from Bach’s Cantatas - including one of the best-loved of all Bach’s vocal works, “Ich habe genus”
This album is Andreas Scholl's first Bach album for Decca Classics and his first for a many years period
“There are more excellent countertenors before the public today than ever before, but one of them stands out above all others as Caruso among tenors a century ago: Andreas Scholl” (Fanfare Magazine)
Andreas Scholl is at the height of his vocal powers, the countertenor of reference for all young singers. Here he follows up his much-praised Purcell collection O Solitude with a project perfectly matched to his artistry and musical heritage
