Hungarian countertenor Zoltan Darago joins forces with Christophe Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques for his first album, in a programme encompassing the most beautiful cantata arias composed by J.S. Bach for the alto tessitura.It was when he obtained the post of kantor at the Thomaskirche that Johann Sebastian Bach embarked on one of his most ambitious projects: composing an original work for the entire liturgical year. Between 1723 and 1726, he produced a cantata for each Sunday. These cantatas were veritable laboratories for musical creation, with the composer lending them various vocal and instrumental ensembles. Within this repertoire, the alto voice takes on a special connotation, sometimes dolorous, sometimes fervent, and Bach gives it some of his most beautiful arias.
