Orders can now be taken for The Bach Choir's first CD to be released on its own label.
Recorded in 1955 at Abbey Road Studios, the Cantatas on this CD - Nos 6 (Bide with us) and 140 (Sleepers wake) - are sung in English by a small group of the Choir's finest singers at the time. Reginald Jacques conducts the Jacques Orchestra, with Hubert Dawkes at the harpsichord. This is an historically significant recording in that it contains the first complete work ever to be recorded by EMI in stereo.
The CD, no BC0601, is available at the special price of £11.99 (including postage and packing).
