Description: A German radio recording from 1988 (before Max moved his orchestra primarily to cpo), never previously published, offers three cantatas from probably the 1740s or 1750s (no dates are given) which offer various windows into the change from Baroque to early Classical, each composer offering his own mixture of styles and solutions to the chosen texts (Altnickol, a pupil of J.S. Bach, being the most conservative, but also offering trumpets, horns and timpani to accentuate the joyous celebration of his text). German-English texts. Barbara Schlick (soprano), Hilke Helling (alto), Hein Meens (tenor), Harry van der Kamp (bass), Rheinische Kantorei, Das Kleine Konzert; Hermann Max.
