Continuing their exploration of Bach's vocal music, Bach Collegium Japan and Masaaki Suzuki
have now reached the fifth volume of secular cantatas, with the previous instalment being 'urgently
recommended' by the reviewer in Fanfare, and its contents described as 'unusually colourful and
vivid performances, even by the standards so far set by Suzuki's Collegium Japan' (International
Record Review). Both cantatas on the present disc were first performed in 1733 by Bach and his
Collegium Musicum at public concerts in Leipzig. They were also part of what almost appears to
have been a campaign by Bach to be appointed Court Composer by the Saxon Prince-Elector
Friedrich August II, something which took place three years later. Lasst uns sorgen, lasst uns
wachen, BWV 213, also known as Hercules at the crossroads, was composed for the 11th birthday
of the Prince-Elector's oldest son, and Tonet, ihr Pauken! Erschallet, Trompeten! BWV 214 in a
similar manner celebrated the birthday two months later of his wife, Maria Josepha of Saxony. Both
works are so-called 'dramma per musica', in which the vocal soloists are embodying dramatic
characters – in the present cantatas these are taken from Greek mythology. Needless to say, Bach
rose to the festive occasions, deploying trumpets and timpani (as implied in the title of BWV 214) and
horns (in BWV 213) to great effect. A year later, he would reuse much of the music from the two
cantatas in a similarly jubilant but otherwise quite different context – admirers of the Christmas
Oratorio will for instance recognize the opening chorus of that work (Jauchzet, frohlocket) in the first
movement of BWV 214 as well as the celebrated alto aria Bereite dich, Zion as an artfully
transformed version of Hercules brusque rejection of Wohlust (Lust) in the ninth movement of BWV
213.
