About
Having studied with the great Bach bass Peter Kooy - who has made his own distinguished recordings of these solo albums - David Greco has established himself as a fine interpreter of oratorio and opera throughout Australia and Europe. He has sung with Ton Koopman's Amsterdam Baroque Soloists as well as Monteverdi with Le Nuove Musiche - acclaimed for their Brilliant Classics recordings of the madrigals - and taken the role of Aeneas in Purcell's opera at the Brisbane Baroque Festival. David Greco's partnership with Luthers Bach Ensemble stretches back to his time as a student in The Netherlands in 2009, and this album marks the culmination of over a decade of performing the works of J.S Bach together. These solo bass cantatas are often reserved for singers of more mature years due to their weighty themes of worldly fatigue, death and redemption, but the interpretations here are infused with youth and cosmopolitan openness, with the aim of finding a united expression and interpretation in order to pay tribute to the universal nature of J.S Bach's music, and to the personal, touching expression at the heart of each musical phrase. 'I've always had a deep affinity for this music,' says David Greco, who enjoyed a breakthrough moment in appearances with Dame Emma Kirkby, doyenne of early-music sopranos. 'I think it's an aesthetic thing because I find it to be super passionate and Romantic in the truest sense of the word. The boundless possibilities of expression interest me very much and I just feel so at home with it.' These three cantatas all date from the full flower of Bach's maturity as Capellmeister to the Church of St Thomas in Leipzig. All three explore the very Lutheran longing for death as a state in which the soul is reunited with God in peace, finally relieved from earthly torments. Lamentation and consolation are thus united in arias of sublime beauty.
