This present film of the rehearsal of Bach's Canata BWV 63 is intercut with comments from the singers and an interview with John Eliot Gardiner. He talks incisively about Bach’s music as a whole, the place of the cantatas in the composer’s oeuvre, the particular structure and brilliance of “Christen, ätzet diesen Tag”, and explains something of his reasons for championing authentic rendition.
1^st recording of Cantata BWV 63 by J.E. Gardiner.
Most probably the same reccording as [C-10] above.
