The 'Bach Cantata Pilgrimage', undertaken by Sir John Eliot Gardiner with the Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists, was a project where all two hundred or so of J.S. Bach's church cantatas were performed during the Year 2000 in historically or architecturally significant churches in Europe and beyond.
The release of the recordings of these concerts came to a close ten years later. The year 2000 for many musicians was defined by 'the Pilgrimage' and it is gratifying that the recordings - which capture much of the spirit of the concerts - have drawn such wide praise and are held in such affection by so many music-lovers. A small number were released on the Deutsche Grammophon label, but the majority were on the newly-created Soli Deo Gloria label.
Further recordings made by the Monteverdi Choir were subsequently released on SDG which also appear on this page.
