Info for Nicht Mehr Hier

Als Anfang 2019 sein erstes Album mit Bach-Arien bei Sony Classical erschien, erntete der junge niederländische Countertenor Maarten Engeltjes viel Lob für den "bezaubernden Charakter" (Opernglas) seiner Stimme. Jetzt singt der Meisterschüler der Counter-Legende Michael Chance, umrahmt von zwei kurzen Stücken von Buxtehude und dem Bach-Sohn Johann Christian, drei berühmte Kantaten von J. S. Bach: Ich habe genug, BWV 82, Ich will den Kreuzstab gerne tragen, BWV 56 (beide sind recht eigentlich Paradestücke für Bariton) - und Vergnügte Ruh, beliebte Seelenlust, BWV 170. Wieder wird er überaus einfühlsam vom Ensemble PRJCT Amsterdam begleitet.
