Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern, BWV 1 discography
Bach composed Marian feast of the Annunciation, for a first performance in a church service in Leipzig on 25 March 1725.[1] The cantata, for soprano, tenor and bass soloists, four-part choir and Baroque orchestra, takes around 25 minutes to perform.[2]
Recordings
The conductor
Heinrich-Schütz-Chor Heilbronn and the Pforzheim Chamber Orchestra between 1959 and 1974, recording Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern in 1965. Several of them were reissued in 2004. A reviewer of the first volume noted: "Fritz Werner has this music in his blood. His instincts for Bach style are generally sound and he directs the music with a profound belief in it. These are performances of quiet conviction."[5]
In 1971, Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern was the first cantata for the project to record all church cantatas by Bach on period instruments in
Wiener Sängerknaben, with a soprano soloist from the boys' choir and a countertenor for the alto part.[8]
Holland Boys Choir and the Netherlands Bach Collegium in historically informed performance, however with women for the solo soprano parts. He completed the project within a year on the occasion of the Bach Year 2000. A reviewer from Gramophone noted: "Leusink's success elsewhere comes largely through his admirably well-judged feeling for tempos and a means of accentuation which drives the music forward inexorably".[15]
