Description

Mastered from the Original Tapes and Pressed on Gatefold Triple 180g Vinyl LP with Artist Photos and Liner Notes in English and German!

Karl Richter's legendary Bach choral recordings did much to encourage a widespread reappraisal of how this music should be performed. Here we have a vinyl reissue of Richter and the Munchener Bach-Orchester's 1965 performance of Bach's Christmas Oratorio BWV 248 (Weihnachts-Oratorium). "If the Mass in B minor is a compilation on the loftiest conceptual level – honed and crafted as the zenith of Bach's creative life – then the Christmas Oratorio stands as a compilation of a quite different kind, a practical harvesting of six specific cantatas to be performed on the feast days of Christmas 1734 and the New Year (Gramophone). Mastered from original tapes and pressed on gatefold triple 180g LP with artist photos and liner notes in English and German.

Musicians:
Johann Sebastian Bach, composer
Karl Richter, conductor
Munchener Bach-Orchester
