The acclaimed Bach Cantata Project conducted by Ton Koopman, suspended last year when the Erato label was discontinued by Warner Classical, has been revived in Maestro Koopman's native Holland by Challenge Classics. The series had stopped after the release of Volume 12. This month, Challenge Classics and Allegro pick it up where it left off, and continue with the brand new Volume 13, containing the third series of "chorale cantatas" from the second annual cycle Bach composed for Leipzig in 1724 and 1725. While the project continues forward with the remaining cantatas, the original 12 volumes will also be re-released by Challenge Classics.

Begun in 1994, this series was called "the recording project of the nineties" by The Guardian. The series will continue to feature the scholarly contributions of Professor Christoph Wolff, one of the world's leading experts on the music of Bach.

In 1997, the Bach Cantata Project was awared the Deutsche Schallplattenpreis "Echo Klassik 1997."

Born in Zwolle, Holland, in 1944, Ton Koopman decided very early in his musical studies to specialize in the 17th and 18th centuries, using authentic instruments combined with a performing style based on sound scholarship. His extensive activities as a soloist and conductor have been recorded on a large number of LPs and CDs for labels including Erato, Teldec, Philips and Deutsche Grammophon.

The Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra, founded in 1979 by Ton Koopman, are a group of musicians from all over the world, with a particular passion for the Baroque. Their recordings have won numerous awards.
