This new release from Etcetera records presents live recordings of J.S. Bach's Cantatas
BWV56 & 82, and selected movements from the St Matthew's Passion (BWV 244).
Critically acclaimed for his performances and recordings of the Evangelist roles
in Bach's St John Passion and St Matthew Passion, Christoph Pregardien's precise vocal
control, clear diction, intelligent musicality, and ability to reach the heart of everything
he sings has secured him a place among the world's foremost lyric tenors.

This new release features world premiere recordings of Pregardien's performances of
Bach's Cantatas BWV 56 and 82.

Pregardien can regularly be heard at major venues around the world, including the Vienna
Konzerthaus, the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Philharmonie Paris, London's
Wigmore Hall. He appears regularly with renowned orchestras the world over, including
the Boston and San Francisco Symphonies, and with conductors such as Barenboim and
Nagano

'[Pregardien's] lyric tenor voice had a youthful glow, yet he sang with plaintive beauty
and piercing insight.' - The New York Times

Since its creation in 2000, Le Concert Lorrain has quickly established itself on the
international baroque scene thanks to the enthusiasm and high standards of its two
artistic directors, the harpsichordist Anne-Catherine Bucher and the cellist Stephan
Schultz.

Le Concert Lorrain has also recorded Handel's Israel in Egypt under the direction of Roy
Goodman for Etcetera Records: the ensemble are acclaimed for their 'consistently
insightful and sympathetic performances' [Gramophone, KTC1517].
