Provenance

Where it came from

This 1962 release on the East German label ETERNA features two of Johann Sebastian Bach's sacred cantatas, BWV 68 and BWV 111, performed by the Thomanerchor under the direction of Kurt Thomas. Recorded in Leipzig, the disc serves as a testament to the enduring tradition of the St. Thomas Church choir, where Bach himself once served as Cantor. The production reflects the mid-century Eastern Bloc commitment to preserving classical German heritage through high-fidelity documentation of their premier musical institutions.

The recording highlights the vocal contributions of soloists Elisabeth Grümmer, Marga Höffgen, Hans-Joachim Rotzsch, and Theo Adam, captured alongside the Gewandhausorchester. Kurt Thomas, who led the choir during this period, was noted for his disciplined and structurally clear approach to Bach’s polyphonic works. The ETERNA label became widely respected among international collectors for its pressings of these Leipzig-based performances, which managed to preserve a specific, authentic liturgical sound despite the geopolitical isolation of the era.
