Provenance

Where it came from

This ETERNA release, catalog number 8 20 210, captures two significant cantatas by Johann Sebastian Bach—BWV 68 and BWV 111—recorded in East Germany during the mid-20th century. Produced under the state-run VEB Deutsche Schallplatten label, these recordings reflect the high musical standards maintained by the Thomanerchor Leipzig, the centuries-old choir historically led by Bach himself. The label ETERNA was instrumental in documenting the rigorous performance traditions of the Gewandhausorchester and the St. Thomas Church choir, preserving a specific cultural legacy during the Cold War era.

The recording features an esteemed lineup of soloists, including Elisabeth Grümmer and Theo Adam, under the direction of cantor Kurt Thomas. These performances are noted for their adherence to historically grounded German choral traditions, favoring clarity and structural precision over the later period-instrument trends that would eventually dominate Bach performance practice. The stark, functional aesthetic of the ETERNA sleeve design is characteristic of East German graphic design of the period, prioritizing legible typography and scholarly presentation to reflect the serious academic and liturgical nature of the works.
