«The Contest Between Phoebus & Pan» is the album by Johann Sebastian Bach featuring cantata BWV 201, released in 1999 by Hänssler Classic on CD.
Bach dramatises here the musical dispute between Phoebus and Pan: the god of art versus the rustic song of the satyr, with arias and choruses of a burlesque tone. The opening chorus «Geschwinde, ihr wirbelnden Winde» starts the contest; Sibylla Rubens, Ingeborg Danz and Matthias Goerne sing, conducted by Helmuth Rilling.
It belongs to the Hänssler Edition Bachakademie series; CD catalogue 92.061; libretto in German, English, French and Spanish. Performed by the Gächinger Kantorei and the Bach-Collegium Stuttgart.
For classical music enthusiasts, especially Baroque vocal repertoire and the cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach.
