The recordings of Bach's cantata's from John Eliot Gardiner's Bach Pilgrimmage are almost complete; twenty-seven 2-CD volumes have already appeared. Unfortunately the Ascension Cantatas are missing because noise issues meant that the original performances could not be recorded. So the the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Soloists are trying to raise £50,000 to enable them to record the missing cantatas in May this year at St. Giles Cripplegate.
Alexander Armstrong is hoping to find 2000 people to donate £20 each and help complete a major musical landmark. Further information here
