Marc Genevey wrote (February 9, 2020):
I am Marc, math teacher from Guadeloupe (FWI) in my mid fifties. Unfortunately i cannot play music, nor even talk about it in a scholar manner. All i’m good for is to appreciate good recording the same way i taste good meals : way too much..

I discovered baroque and classical music when I started to listen to the radio while working. The broadcast « carrefour de Lodéon » soon became an eye-opener (or could I say, an « ear-opener » ?) and where I felt in love with my first bach recordings, thank to the speaker’s enthusiasm who led my first paths through the history and music backgrounds of the universe of the purest beauty.

My musical tastes are still very eclectics, but i keep coming more and more back to baroque, thanks to the internet that helps me fuel my passion. During the last months, i’ve been devoting all my listening towards bach’s cantata, and it was while I was searching for the best ressources to deepen my understanding , that I found the most precious Bach cantata website <>

[Upon jopining the BML] Hope you are all doing wonderfully! This is CookieChan (I always go by this name online), who just joined the group. First I must thank you all so much, especially the webmaster Aryeh Oron, for building this amazing Bach Cantata website! It helped me tremendously with understanding his music, recordings, text, background information and so on! This project requires so much effort and I can't thank you enough for doing this for all the music fans around the world :)

Just a few lines to mention that I came across the website you have set up https://www.bach-cantatas.com/index.htm

Amazing work you have done putting this together with love and attention.

I found it very helpful when researching for the book I am writing about Human Creativity - so thank you. (I have studied 600 geniuses across 30+ domains and of course, composers & poets are included)

David Borden wrote (May 24, 2020):
Thank you for your work on the Bach Cantatas web site. I have been making use of it in recent years as part of a Meetup group in Washington DC (now gone online) that once a month listens to and discusses a few cantatas on Sunday morning. <>

Bernd Koska [Bach-Archiv Leipzig] wrote (June 2, 2020):
[Regarding the page: https://www.bach-cantatas.com/Other/Pupil-List.htm]
It is very impressive to see all these information gathered together on your website, easily available for a worldwide community. I know how much work this was. Congratulations! I can't check for every detail, but telling from some random samples I find it very accurate and useful. Especially how you solved the problem if a person really was Bach's pupil or not seems very reasonable to me. So, I have nothing to add - and if I should have some remarks in the future, I would let you know.

Again, thanks for your work!

Fritz Krämer [Conductor, BERNVOCAL] wrote (June 6, 2020):

Thank you !

Bonjour
Je suis désolé de ne pas pouvoir vous écrire en anglais. Mais je voulais vous remercier pour ce travail extraordinaire que vous avez fait au sujet des cantates de Bach. Votre site m'est très utile et je crois que j'y reviendrais souvent car actuellement j'écoute la musique sur des site de Streaming qui sont avares en renseignements concernant les interprètes. Votre site me donne toutes les indications.
Grand merci à vous.

I have a huge collection of recordings of all Bach's cantatas, and each morning on arising I listen in sequence to "the next" Bach cantata to start the day--and then the echoes in my head all day! And your exhaustive web site is just invaluable. Thank you so much!
