About
Johann Sebastian Bach’s motets are among the most challenging – and beautiful – works of the choral repertoire. The Swedish composer Sven-David Sandström wrote his own motets on the same texts, and these are juxtaposed with Bach’s works on the present CD. Baroque elegance and craftsmanship in Bach’s pieces, enrapturing clusters and complex rhythms which demand the highest sensitivity of the vocalists in Sandström’s compositions. Three times Bach and three times Sandström.

Awards and reviews
June 2015
[this disc] is a thoughtful and thought-provoking a blend of the familiar and the unexpected, a musical meditation on texts and music we listen to too frequently to hear clearly...Sandström's works stand on their own expressive and idiosyncratic merits.
