This programme takes you from deep misery to carefree happiness. The ensemble and top soloists including Stefanie True and Alexander Chance are led by Bart Naessens on a journey towards the light. Bach’s popular cantata Schmücke dich, O liebe Seel forms the magnificent highlight.
“Schmücke dich, O liebe Seel forms the magnificent highlight“
In Bach’s day, a cantata was a musical sermon. Nowadays it’s amazing music, and a lesson in life for those who listen carefully. As a searching, uncertain person, where can you find a foothold and assurance? This rich programme shows you the way, with beautiful Bach cantatas and music by composers greatly admired by Bach himself: Johann Kuhnau and Johann Christoph Bach. Halfway along, Bach’s friend and colleague Telemann gives us a taste of what we’re ultimately working towards: carefree happiness and peace for the soul.
