Description:

Graupner was born in Germany, in the Duchy of Saxony. He studied under Johann Kuhnau, and while working as a harpsichordist at the Hamburg Opera (Handel was a violinist there at the same time), he composed a series of operas. This is a series of Graupner cpo vocal works, which at the time were more highly regarded than J.S. Bach's. In this work, we have selected all cantatas for two sopranos and bass composed in 1720-21. The five cantatas are based on the ecclesiastical calendar from Holy Week to the third Sunday after Easter and are full of singing virtuosity, making full use of the high ability of the singers, especially sopranos, at the Darmstadt court where Graupner was engaged. two sopranos who specialize in 18th century works. Werneburg and Zumsande, two sopranos who specialize in 18th century works, and Werner, a stable singer. Naxos Japan
