Presentation

John Eliot Gardiner continues to immerse himself in Bach's cantatas, taking the same approach as he did in his complete recording to mark the 250th anniversary of the composer's death...

John Eliot Gardiner continues to immerse himself in Bach's cantatas, taking the same approach as he did for his complete concert on the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the composer's death: the maestro follows the liturgical calendar rather than chronological order. This first concert therefore focuses on the cantatas for Jubilate Sunday: the third or fourth Sunday after Easter.

The cantata Weinen, Klagen, Sorgen, Zagen (BWV 12), composed for Weimar in 1714, is a landmark work of German sacred music. It is completed by two compositions from the Leipzig period, in particular the cantata BWV 146 with its incredible orchestral overture for concert organ! A programme in which Bach sounds at the top of his game!
