Album Notes

Three master composers of the Baroque were born in the same year: 1685. This beautiful CD captures some of the most exquisite works for alto voice, sung and interpreted with perfection by countertenor Ian Howell. Jeffrey Thomas, conductor and music director for American Bach Soloists, has been recognized worldwide as one of the foremost interpreters of the music of Bach and the Baroque: "Thomas’ direction seems just right, capturing the humanity of the music…there is no higher praise for Bach performance." (Fanfare Magazine) "Thomas united enlightened historical performance practice with native musical intelligence." (San Francisco Examiner)
