LIMITED QUANTITIES AVAILABLE! Mezzo soprano Alexandra Röseler and soloists of the Thomanerchores Leipzig, the choir of the famous Thomaskirche, (under the direction of Thomaskantor Georg Christoph Biller) perform selections from both the 1722 and 1725 editions of the Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach. Both Biller and Röseler (who performs regularly with the Thomarenchor and has been employed there as a vocal teacher) play the organ and sing on this recording. Even the boys of the Thomanerchor perform on the piano, demonstrating not only that Bach works were to be used for teaching, but also that the tradition of quality music teaching, having endured over 800 years at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig, continues today The recording was made at the Bethanienkirche in Leipzig. The organ was built in 1994 by the Klop firm. Carola Christoph, lute, and Harmut Becker, Cello/ Viola da gamba, join on several tracks.
