Bach Collegium San Diego's debut release with Rezurrection Recordz, A Sonic Youth, showcases two vibrant early works by J.S. Bach and Handel, composed around the year 1707. Recorded in the fall of 2021, the album highlights Bach's Cantata Christ lag in Todes Banden, where his mastery of Lutheran tradition meets the emerging Italian style, presented through a bold chorale fantasia. In contrast, Handel’s Dixit Dominus captures the youthful composer’s fiery and virtuosic response to the vibrant musical atmosphere of Rome. BCSD’s interpretations bring a distinctive vitality, offering fresh insight into these well-loved compositions.
