BACH'S VOCAL MUSIC
Sir-This letter is to express my appreciation of a recent Elizabeth Schumann rendering of the Recitative and Aria from Bach’s "Wedding Cantata." Over the last few months I have listened consistently to the Classical Hour from 2YA, and although we hear an abundance of Bach’s instrumental works, I am sure other listeners will join with me in wishing for a good deal more of Bach’s vocal solos. In the recording which I mentioned was one particular point of interest-the clavichord
was used predominantly in the orchestra accompanying Elizabeth Schumann. I hope we shall have more of Bach’s vocal works with accompaniments played on the instrument of his day.
