For many folk, the word "cantata" automatically evokes the word "Bach". However, the church cantata had many other notable practitioners, and some of them are represented here, in a splendid recording by the Genevois group Gli Angeli Genève. There is one J.S. Bach cantata, the beautiful solo cantata BWV 82 "Ich habe genug", given a sterling performance by Stephan MacLeod. The other works, by Telemann, Johann Christoph Bach, Buxtehude and Bruhns, are also both splendid and splendidly done. --- Teemacs (Switzerland), amazon.com
