The live concert was billed Six funerals and a wedding: the pieces evoke the dark theme of grief, as was fashionable in 17th century Lutheran Germany; though the last track Meine Freundin is a lighter amorous dialogue The music on this album is in turn dark, poignant, humane and witty It features choral music (motets) as well as solo arias and laments, and two dialogues Johann Christoph Bach (1642-1703) - not to be confused with Johann Christian Bach, was Johann Sebastian Bachs older cousin. A respected composer in his lifetime, he greatly influenced JS Bachs music making.

ReviewJC Bachs brand of sober pietism really draws you in. The uncompromising honesty of the word setting, and its dense, dark fabric of gambas, cellos and basses, creeps into the nerves system in a rather delicious way. --The TimesSuch is the individuality even quirkiness of his settings, with their expressive melody, distinctive harmony and often strikingly interventionist obbligato violin parts, that they absorb rather than repel. --The GuardianThis album was recorded live at Cadogan Hall in 2009.

A respected composer in his lifetime, he greatly influenced JS Bachs music making. *** --The Guardian,09/09/11This is Johann Christoph Bach (1642-1703), Johann Sebastian's first cousin once removed, who from the 1660s was organist at Eisenach and harpsichordist in the court orchestra there, and whose reputation as a composer among members of the Bach family was second only to that of JS Bach; some of his compositions were even later attributed to his more famous cousin. This fascinating collection, based on a concert that John Eliot Gardiner conducted at Cadogan Hall, London, in 2009, covers a good range of Johann Christoph's surviving output. The two five-part motets are intense, slightly dour affairs, designed to be sung at funerals, while the pair of laments both feature striking violin obbligatos; the two arias are also haunted by death, though, like most of the works here, the harmonic richness of the music makes them seem anything but lugubrious. It's still a solemn sequence, however, lifted only at the end by the dialogue Meine Freundin, du bist Schön, a setting of a passage from the Song of Songs, intended for a marriage celebration, and by Lutheran standards, quite unbuttoned. --Observer,25/09/11The recording is one of the best I've heard in the Soli Deo Gloria label. --IRR,Nov'11Gardiner's interpretations are as beautifully researched, judged and executed as always. **** --Classic fm Magazine,Dec'11Bach of any generation from Gardiner's eminently engaged and engaging forces is self-recommended;yet for its rarity value alone Welt,gute Nacht is as important a release as that of a B minor Mass or St Matthew Passion. Performance **** Recording ***** --BBC Music Magazine,Christmas'11The vocal soloists acquit themselves welAutor:J.
