Provenance

Where it came from

Johann Kuhnau’s Musicalische Vorstellung einiger biblischer Historien, originally published in 1700, represents a landmark in the evolution of keyboard music. As the Thomaskantor in Leipzig before J.S. Bach, Kuhnau sought to bridge the gap between abstract instrumental music and narrative storytelling, creating six sonatas that depict specific biblical scenes—such as the combat between David and Goliath—through programmatic musical devices. His work served as a precursor to the tone poem, utilizing the keyboard to imitate voices, lamentations, and even the sounds of battle, thereby expanding the expressive possibilities of the harpsichord for contemporary amateurs and connoisseurs.

This specific recording by Jörg Ewald Dähler, released on the Swiss label Claves (D 356 / 357), is celebrated for its commitment to historical performance practice. Dähler, a respected harpsichordist and pedagogue, utilizes an instrument that captures the intricate textures and harmonic adventurousness of Kuhnau’s score. The recording is regarded by musicologists and early music enthusiasts as a definitive interpretation, valued for its clarity and for demonstrating how Kuhnau’s pedagogical intent translates to a modern listening experience.
