Lyrichord proudly welcomes the world-renowned Amor Artis Chorale and orchestra conducted by Johannes Somary in a splendid performance of Bach's most loved Cantatas and Motets. Maestro Somary's discography claims over fifty recordings, including four Stereo Review Record-of-the-Year Awards.
Soprano Ann Monoyios, and bass-baritone John Ostendorf have both sustained highly successful careers in recordings, the concert hall and the opera stage, and are in top form in these splendid and popular works of the master, J.S. Bach.

REVIEWS:
"...Monoyios may sing a little too sweetly for the conniver that Lieschen (Lizzie) turns out to be, but that can hardly be considered a fault. Ostendorf is fine in both cantatas....The instrumental support...is splendid..." Fanfare (1-2/00)

"Ann Monoyios... one of the very best singers performing baroque repertoire today."
- Gramophone
