The 350th anniversary of the birth of the Rudolstadt court music director Philipp Heinrich Erlebach (a native of Esens, East Frisia) is occasion and time enough to offer homage to this great master with a recording of his sacred cantatas and to seek to free him once and for all from his obscure existence in the pages of lexica. Today Erlebach and his cantatas continue to be much too little known, even among experts, even though he is regarded as one of the most significant masters of the Central German music landscape between Heinrich Schütz and Johann Sebastian Bach. Erlebach's instrumental music has been attracting attention among the public and in music circles for some time now, and the representative selection of his cantatas recorded here offers Erlebach the sacred composer the opportunity to earn his fair share of the musical spotlight. Our premiere recording under the conductor Ludger Rémy reveals a highly imaginative, original composer who played a leading role in the shaping of the new style during the early years of the eighteenth century. Marvelous discoveries!
