About

Following his recording of J.S. Bach’s solo cantatas for alto BWV 35 and 170 (issued by Outhere in 2009), and building on the success of that disc – still a benchmark even today – countertenor Damien Guillon has continued his work of research and interpretation, devoting his second CD to the Cantata BWV 169 for alto solo, and to the famous BWV 82 Ich habe genug; though better known in its 1727 version for bass, from 1735 onwards it was also performed by an alto voice.

To complement this cantata programme, organist Maude Gratton performs Bach’s Prelude and Fugue BWV 543, as well as the chorales Allein Gott in der Höh sei Ehr, BWV 662, BWV 663 & BWV 664.

"... Guillon is a remarkable singer... well worth hearing."

J F Weber - Fanfare - November/December 2019

Reviewers Recording of the Year 2019

“…Guillon is in inspiring form throughout, the attractive timbre of his captivating countertenor conveying both convincing purity and reverential expression. Under his direction, Le Banquet Céleste plays with marvellous alertness and its usual rhythmic vitality; the period instruments sound agreeable, impressively in tune and well unified… The music of J.S. Bach could hardly be better performed and presented than on this Alpha Classics album, making it indispensable listening for devotees of Baroque music.”
