Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
Georg Philip Telemann (1681-1767) and JS Bach (1685-1750) were explicitly rivals only once, and Telemann won. In a sense, however, they were implicitly rivals throughout their contemporaneous careers, and the rivalry was 'no contest'. Telemann was the most celebrated German musician of the age, held choicer posts, got more lucrative commissions, enjoyed more ample resources for performance, heard his music performed more skillfully and for more appreciative audiences. Were those audiences blinded to real excellence and therefore obtuse to Bach's genius? Or was it just luck and happenstance?

The comparison isn't straightforward. The two men, based on their situations, expressed themselves in different genres. Bach wrote his sublime unaccompanied violin and cello suites and his unrivaled keyboard masterworks; Telemann wrote operas and concert-hall oratorios. In one genre, nevertheless, they both produced an enormous repertoire of glorious moving music that was performed almost perfunctorily and thereafter neglected or lost. That genre was the workhorse sacred cantata intended for 'Sunday' worship services in church. The large majority of Bach's surviving cantatas fit this genre, and their immense acclaim in our times -- there are at least half a dozen 'complete' recordings of them on sale today -- would have flabbergasted the congregations that heard them inattentively in their baroque churches. Telemann's church cantatas haven't gained such a following. Not yet, anyway.

The three sacred cantatas recorded here should reveal instantly that Telemann and Bach were writing very similar music, in the same German Protestant musical language they'd both inherited from Buxtehude, Kuhnau, and in fact older Bachs.

Another excellent CD from CPO. All Musical parameters were covered and enjoyed.
My only complaint is with the postal delivery=== over 2 weeks to travel across the nation .
