Info for J.S. Bach: Cantatas for Soprano

"Ich bin vergnugt" (I am content) is the title of the new album by soprano Miriam Feuersinger. It refers to Johann Sebastian Bach's cantata "Ich bin vergnugt mit meinem Glucke" BWV 84, but it also corresponds entirely to the feelings of the singer, who is fulfilling a long-cherished wish of her heart with this programme.

On this album, the proven Bach specialist presents the three most beautiful cantatas written by Johann Sebastian Bach for solo soprano.

While the cantata "Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen" BWV 52 is an operatic, virtuosic hymn of praise that places high technical demands on the performer, in the cantata "Ich habe genug" BWV 82, Bach sets the yearning of St. Simeon for salvation in wonderful melodies in the most intimate way.

Miriam Feuersinger, sensitively and delicately accompanied by the Capricornus Consort Basel, wonderfully performs Bach's cantatas with her slender, clear voice and lets us feel her "Vergnugen" in every single note.

Miriam Feuersinger
The Austrian soprano Miriam Feuersinger discovered her love for singing when she was a young child. After comprehensive musical training starting at the age of 8 in her home town of Bregenz, she went on to professional voice training at the State Conservatory in Feldkirch (Austria), subsequently joining the class of Prof. Kurt Widmer at the Musikakademie Basel, where she passed her performer’s examination with honours.

Her great love, in both music and content, is for the cantatas and passions of J. S. Bach and his contemporaries, as is evidenced by her numerous invitations to festivals involving his works like Bachstiftung St. Gallen (Switzerland), All of Bach (Netherlands) and Bachakademie Stuttgart, further on Tage alter Musik Regensburg, Bachfest Köthen and Barocktage Stift Melk. She also initiated an own Bach cantata series in Vorarlberg/Austria (www.bachkantaten.at). Other emphases in her artistic work lie in the broad spectrum of sacred music from the early Baroque to Late Romanticism and German Lied.

A specialist in Baroque music, she has been much in demand with International Baroque ensembles such as Capricornus Consort Basel, Les Cornets Noirs, Freiburger Barockorchester, Kammerorchester Basel, Collegium 1704 and La Cetra, and has sung with renowned conductors as Rudolf Lutz, Václav Luks, Hans-Christoph Rademann, Daniel Reuss, Jos van Veldhoven, Ton Koopman, Sigiswald Kuijken and Laurent Gendre.

For her recordings she was honored with the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik (2014), the ECHO Klassik (2014) and Ö1 Pasticcio-Preis (2017).

In 2019 Miriam Feuersinger was appointed honorary member of the Christoph Graupner Society, whose work is very close to her heart. In 2020 she founded the "Vokalwerkstatt M31 - a space for personality & voice" in Bregenz.
