Johann Christoph Altnickol (1719-1759) was closely associated with the Bach family both musically and personally. He married Bach’s daughter Elizabeth Juliana in 1749. Only a small number of Altnickols compositions have survived. These include the sacred works collected together on this CD, the majority of which are World Premiere Recordings. This CD also features the participation of Musica Alta Ripa who have been critically acclaimed on their many recordings.
