New recording from CLEMATIS
THE ANCESTORS OF JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH

The first of these publications is dedicated to Johann Sebastian Bach's great-uncle, Heinrich Bach. Alongside organ chorales performed by Cindy Castillo, it includes two Sonatas for Five Voices performed by Clematis. These pieces have been available online since July 24th.


For this second phase of discoveries of new recordings, it is the music of Johann Michael Bach, the great cousin, that can be heard.
With the participation of soprano Capucine Keller, Clematis has recorded two sacred concertos and a magnificent Sonata à 4.
As for Brice Sailly and Lucie Chabard, they have made the world premiere recording of a suite for two harpsichords, the second harpsichord part of which had been lost and was reconstructed by Fabien Moulaert.
This release is completed by a sumptuous motet with trumpets, recently discovered, and a Veni sancte spiritus that may have been written by Johann Sebastian Bach’s elder brother, pieces entrusted to Vox Luminis.


Alongside magnificent sacred compositions, including the moving Lamento Ach dass ich Wassers gnung’ hätte and the impressive wedding cantata Meine Freundin du bist schön, both recorded by Clematis, this final volume of new recordings made for this box set features the complete collection of Johann Christoph Bach’s keyboard works, by this other great cousin of Johann Sebastian Bach.
The three sets of variations are shared between Clematis harpsichordists Brice Sailly and Lucie Chabard, while several organ pieces have been entrusted to Cindy Castillo.
