Album Description
"Magnificat - Christmas in Leipzig" by Solomon's Knot is a captivating journey into the rich musical heritage of Leipzig around 1700. This debut album from the London-based ensemble offers a unique exploration of the festive music composed by three influential figures who served as cantors at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig: Johann Schelle, Johann Kuhnau, and Johann Sebastian Bach. The album opens with Schelle's sacred concerto "Machet die Tore weit," followed by Kuhnau's "Magnificat," which served as a blueprint for Bach's renowned 1723 version in E-flat major. Solomon's Knot's performance is marked by its historical authenticity, intelligent programming, and a live sound that has been beautifully captured in this recording. With a duration of over an hour and ten minutes, this album is a comprehensive and engaging exploration of the musical traditions that shaped the Advent and Christmas celebrations in Leipzig during the Baroque era. The ensemble's dynamic and spirited performances bring a fresh perspective to these timeless works, making "Magnificat - Christmas in Leipzig" a standout release in the world of early music.
