Maestro Blomstedt

Bach wrote most of his cantatas in Leipzig. Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen, with its jovial soprano and trumpet parts, really is true to its title: Shout for joy to God in all lands. Hundred-something years later in the same city Mendelssohn wrote Lobgesang, another work teeming with infectious joy, to the 400-year anniversary of the invention of printing. Herbert Blomstedt, yet another former Leipzig resident, puts all of his experience and skill to realising this optimistic, life-affirming music.
