 Erato Disques - Almost half a century of recording historyhttp://www.erato.com/ "For almost half a century Erato has been faithfully and imaginatively serving its public both with music by neglected composers and the mainstream repertory. When the Company was founded in 1953 there was very little Renaissance and Baroque music to be found in the catalogues of the recently developed long-playing record. This was to be the area in which Erato was first to make its mark and which subsequently established its fine and enduring reputation. Nowadays, when music from so many centuries and different countries is accessible through the medium of the compact disc, it is easy to forget how different the situation was in those far-off days. One of the chief aims of the Erato pioneers founder Philippe Loury and A&R director Michel Garcin was to bring to life once more the early and Baroque music of their native France and to make it available to as wide an audience as possible."

S. Bach wrote an estimated 300 sacred cantatas to be an integral part of the Sunday morning church service each week. This tradition was vibrant at St. Thomas Church in Leipzig where Bach served as Kapellmeister from 1723 until his death in 1750. Since 1969, Emmanuel Church has continued this tradition. We invite you to join us each Sunday at the 10 a.m. service when the cantatas and other great music will be offered by the chorus and orchestra of as part of our worship of God.'
