The background

All Souls

Every human emotion is expressed in this programme of four well-known and popular Bach cantatas.
“

True to life…“

For many centuries, the Western Christian tradition has held a day of remembrance for the dead on 2 November, under the name of All Souls. It is a day when sorrow and joy come together. Sorrow for the loss, and joy because of all the beautiful memories or the comforting thought of a heavenly afterlife. This All Souls programme of four well-known and popular Bach cantatas expresses a whole range of human emotions: pain, joy, sadness, hope and triumph. In short, the programme is a reflection of life itself and is ideally suited to the experienced Baroque conductor René Jacobs.
