Andreas Scholl – contre-ténor & Les Accents – Thibault Noally

Presented by Philippe Maillard production (PLATESV-R-2022-011004). BACH CANTATAS WITH THE ENSEMBLE LES ACCENTS CONDUCTED BY THIBAULT NOALLY The vast corpus of cantatas highlights all of Bach's genius in both polyphonic and contrapuntal writing. The scores written for solo voice, particularly for alto, are dazzling and recall the dramatic intensity of the movements the composer entrusts to this vocal range in the Passions. Directing Les Accents from his violin, Thibault Noally provides a prime setting for the pure, rounded voice of Andreas Scholl. Acclaimed especially for his performances of Bach's music, the star German countertenor always interprets it with disarming naturalness and sublime interiority. A momentous evening in prospect.
