Cantatas BWV 1 - 3

1 How Beauteous Beams The Morning Star
2 Ah, God, From Heaven Look On Us
3 Ah, God, How Oft a Heartfelt Grief

Back in 1970 Helmut Rilling and his ensembles started recording albums of Johann Sebastian Bach´s lesser known cantatas. By the eve of Bach´s 300th birthday in 1985 this exercise had just resulted in the first and hitherto only complete recording of Bach´s cantatas. In return for their great artistic and editorial achievement Helmut Rilling and Hänssler Verlag were promptly awarded the "Grand Prix du Disque".
Today Rilling sees exploring this musical universe as the most important learinig process of his musical career. "Only if you know Bach´s cantatas, can you say that you really know Bach."
