It was only to be expected that, with the burgeoning interest in period instrument performances which took place in Europe and the USA during the 1970s, the more traditional and conservative approach of Karl Richter would be cast aside, for the time being. Yet, in the 1950s, when Richter made his earliest recordings of Bach's music his disciplined and vital approach was hailed as revelatory. Now, as period instruments have firmly established their place in today's musical life, no longer having either to justify themselves or to fight for their share of the cake, the climate has thankfully once more become conducive to a fuller and fairer integration of other styles of interpretation.

Richter's involvement in Bach's Passions, oratorios and cantatas spanned a period of almost 30 years, from the early 1950s (when he took part in performances directed by his teacher and one-time Thomaskantor at Leipzig, Gunther Ramin) until his untimely death in 1981. His own earliest Bach cantata recordings were made for Telefunken, now Teldec, but in 1958 he transferred his allegiance to DG's Archiv Produktion label, becoming one of the company's major artists. Altogether Richter recorded 76 cantatas for Archiv of which, happily, 75 have been transferred to CD in this handsome Archiv reissue. Only the secular cantata for a wedding, No. 202, is missing but, though it clearly has no place here among its sacred relatives, its eventual reissue is no less merited.

Now, a cautionary word to readers confined to the UK for their record buying. Though available on the continent in a handsome five-box set in a slip case, it is the intention of the home marketeers to issue each volume piecemeal to coincide, I should imagine, with the major seasons of the Church year into which the package has been thoughtfully subdivided. So what I have in front of me now is Volume 1, containing cantatas for Advent, Christmas and Epiphany. This was the pattern adopted by Archiv's original Richter Bach Cantata cycle though that, regrettably, failed to accommodate many of Richter's earlier and, we may say with assurance, strongest performances. All now being, so to speak, safely gathered in, there are several Sundays of the Church year, later in the series, which have more than one cantata to celebrate them. Volume 1, however, remains the same as ever, containing pieces recorded during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Taken as a whole, this first anthology is perhaps the strongest. That is not to say that it contains either the finest or the most memorable performances-these may well be considered among those contained in the two forthcoming Trinity collections-but that the level of executancy remains consistently high. Among the works that come off especially well are the Christmas cantata, Christen, eitzet diesen Tag (No. 63), the colourful Epiphany cantatas, Sic werden aus Saba alle kom men (No. 65)-still perhaps the most convincing version on disc-and Was mein Gott will, das g'scheh allzeit (No. 111). The tenor Ernst Haefliger is admirable in No. 65, Anna Reynolds and Peter Schreier superb in their surging, fervent G major duets, which steal the show in Nos. 63 and Ill. The soprano, Edith Mathis is never less than dependable throughout the series and is often very much more than that, while Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, sometimes sensitive (Nos. 61 and 82), sometimes boisterous almost to the point of caricature (No. 121), is never dull.

Richter's Munich Bach Choir and Orchestra usually make a satisfying conjunction though the vocal forces are, to my ears, too large. Never mind, that is all part of his performance concept along with a style in organ continuo which is at times as strident in sound as it is inapposite in manner. The players are generally first rate and this is a feature of the recordings which remains absolutely constant. Readers who are satisfied that Nikolaus Harnoncourt and Gustav Leonhardt provide all the answers to the interpretation of these profoundly satisfying, infinitely varied pieces, perhaps need not bother themselves with discovering or rediscovering an approach which could hardly be further removed from theirs. Others of an enquiring disposition, and with a healthy scepticism of dogma or fashion, may well find much to admire in the concept of a Kantor and Kapellmeister whose firm grounding in Lutheran theology and intuitive feeling for the declamation and design of the many great choral movements result in a distinctive expressive intensity. An important reissue, effectively transferred to CD for the most part-I experienced some distortion in Cantatas Nos. 63 and 64-and thoroughly documented by Walter Blankenburg. --- gramophone.net
