The musical output of Johann Philipp Förtsch [1652 1732] is closely tied to the development of the Hamburg opera. He was among its founders and at times he made essential contributions to the musical life of the Hansa city. In addition to his activities as a composer, singer and librettist, he is recorded in history as a doctor and a diplomat. Among his surviving compositions are several works for the stage and instrumental music, but above all, 80 sacred cantatas, of which several are presented here as world premiere recordings.
