Opéra Royal - Bach: CANTATES II "ACTUS TRAGICUS"
Under the inspired direction of John Eliot Gardiner, the Constellation Choir and Orchestra bring these masterpieces to life in a faithful, vibrant and deeply moving performance.
The Leipzig Bachfest invited its audience to choose the works for two programmes of Bach cantatas, filled with masterpieces: John Eliot Gardiner responded to the audience's expectations by composing two programmes based on these recommendations.
This second programme opens with a solemn meditation on death, grief and faith, gradually rising towards hope, joy and the promise of spiritual awakening. A musical and theological journey, where 17th- and 18th-century German sacred music reveals its full expressive power, between Lutheran tradition and Baroque genius.
