Description:

Exquisite, beautiful arias for oboe damore and alto from Cantatas Nos. 151 and 64, which are as rich and full as an operaCantata No. 151 begins with a dazzling choral piece, while No. 57 features a rich musical structure reminiscent of an opera. As these are Christmas cantatas, the vigor of Bachs composition is distinctly different from that of cantatas intended for daily worship, and each piece is a delight to listen to. This album is a must-have for Bach fans this Christmas season. [Comment provided by King International Co., Ltd.]
