A superb recording representing a culmination of some of the Ottawa Bach Choir’s most beloved repertoire performed over the past ten years, celebrating the spirit of the Baroque period while contrasting works by 19th- and 20th-century masters from France, Canada, the United States and Norway. This album includes the canata Der Herr denket an uns, BWV 196 and the motet Der Geist hilft unser Schwachheit auf, BWV 226 by J.S. Bach along with various works by Monteverdi, Purcell, Buxtehude, Saint-Saëns, Messiaen, Lang, Whitacre and Nystedt.
