CHRISTOPH GRAUPNER (1683-1760): Fahre auf in die Höhe, und werffet eure Netze aus, Jesu edler Hoher Priester, Wie wunderbar ist Gottes Güt, Suite in B for Chalumeau, 2 Violins, Viola and Continuo.

Description: The early (1717) cantata Wie wunderbar is notable for being the earliest we know of which uses the then-new oboe d'amore while Jesu edler of three years later employs two oboes and a bassoon in concertante roles. The late Fahre auf of 1744 is most ingeniously constructed out of many small motifs with some striking uses of harmony to accentuate textual messages. German-English texts. Klaus Mertens (bass), Accademia Daniel; Shalev Ad-El (harpsichord, organ).
