Additional product information

Composer
Johann Sebastian Bach
| 1685-1750

Johann Sebastian Bach is one of the most important composers of Western music history. He came from a widely ramified musical dynasty, which produced numerous musicians and organists in the Thuringian-Saxon area.

Bach vocal

Ever since Carus-Verlag was founded in 1972, publishing the music of Johann Sebastian Bach has been a special focus for us. In the 2017 Reformation anniversary year we completed the Bach vocal project. Bach's complete sacred vocal works are now available in modern Urtext editions, together with performance material. A complete edition of all the full scores is also available in a high quality box set. Personal details

Reviews

... Wer authentisches Bach-Material sucht, kommt an Carus künftig nicht vorbei. (ab)
Kirchenmusik im Bistum Limburg, 1/ 2019

... Die Leistung der Editoren, der Gesamtherausgeber und des Verlages verdienen daher höchstes Lob für das Respekt gebietende Ergebnis ihres nun glücklich beendeten Vorhabens. Nicht nur hochfliegendes Wollen, auch mit Zähigkeit erreichtes Vollbringen gilt es zu preisen. Am besten tut man das, indem man die Bände dieser Gesamtedition, die ihren Preis mehr als wert ist, in die Hand nimmt, auf die Pulte legt und daraus musiziert.
Ulrich Konrad, Musica Sacra, 4.2018

... Here, Carus has set a new standard within the realm of sacred vocal music because many works were last edited 50 or more years ago, and most of them did not include performance material.
