Bach,J.C. / Gellert Ensemble Die Auferweckung Des Lazarus CD

On their first GENUIN release, the young musicians of the Gellert Ensemble from Central Germany bring an absolute repertoire rarity to life. Under it's conductor Andreas Mitschke, the ensemble has produced the oratorio The Raising of Lazarus by Johann Christoph Friedrich Bach, the so-called "B?ckeburg Bach," on the Leipzig label. Bach wrote his dramatic work together with the Sturm und Drang poet Johann Gottfried Herder, a colorful and nuanced portrait based on the unbelievable story from the New Testament. The Gellert Ensemble presents historical performance practice at the highest level in an impressive, spirited performance!
