JS Bach : cantates
About the Event
Enjoy masterworks by Bach in the awe‐inspiring Église Saint‐Roch in Paris.
If Bach's cantatas willingly approach the figure of the sinner to exhort him to repent better, they nonetheless remain an exaltation of God. In the cantatas chosen for this concert, it is indeed the eternal Fire of the divine Magnificence that illuminates the world. At the head of his legendary Collegium Vocale Gent, Philippe Herrweghe is undoubtedly the undisputed master of this irresistible fervour.

Superb performances from choir, soloists and orchestra alike! Bach at his best. But why dim the lights so that the chorus texts could not be read by the audience?
