This single CD features the world premiere recording of J.S. Bachs 'Alles mit Gott' (BWV 1127) - an aria for soprano and strings composed in 1713 for the birthday of Duke Wilhelm Ernst of Saxony. The work was discovered in May 2005 at the Anna Amalia Library in Weimar, Germany by Michael Maul, a researcher from the Leipzig Bach Archive. The text of Alles mit Gott is a twelve stanza sacred poem written by the theologian Johann Anton Mylius which begins with the text, Everything with God and nothing without him - the dukes motto. Featured here is soprano Elin Manahan Thomas, who is accompanied by the principals of the English Baroque Soloists, led by Sir John Eliot Gardiner. Gardiner was recently named this years winner of the Bach Medal of the city of Leipzig for his recordings on the Soli Deo Gloria label.
