Bach at his finest

Wed, Feb 26, 2025, 20:15
Richard Egarr (Harpsichord), Richard Egarr (Leader), Rowan Pierce (Soprano), Reginald Mobley (Alto), Guy Cutting (Tenor), Matthew Brook (Bass)
Which work did Bach regard as his finest? There’s a good chance it might have been the Mass in B Minor. This programme presents the foundations of this masterpiece: three cantatas that Bach used at the end of his life, in the Mass in B Minor.The originals of what is maybe the very finest of Bach’s work“For example, the ‘Patrem omnipotentem’ originated from Gott, wie dein Name, so ist auch dein Ruhm, the ‘Osanna’ from Preise dein Glücke, gesegnetes Sachsen, and the ‘Agnus Dei’ from Lobet Gott in seinen Reichen. Richard Egarr leads the ensemble in these originals of what is maybe the very finest of Bach’s work. Egarr is a true specialist in early music, with his roots in English choral music. He likes to approach the music as if he is discovering it on the spot. Fresh and flowing, with a starring role for the vocals.

St Matthew Passion

Sat, Apr 12, 2025, 19:00
Hans-Christoph Rademann (Conductor), Benedikt Kristjánsson (Evangelist), Carine Tinney (Soprano), Kristen Witmer (Soprano), Terry Wey (Alto), Olivia Vermeulen (Alto), Georg Poplutz (Tenor), James Gilchrist (Tenor), Matthias Winckhler (Bass), Tobias Berndt (Bass), Kampen Boys Choir
Every year, for more than a century, we have been performing one of Bach’s most popular works: the St Matthew Passion. This year, the prominent German conductor Hans-Christoph Rademann is leading our ensemble.Bach’s masterly music keeps moving us“Betrayal, condemnation and death, but above all – love. Although the words of the St Matthew Passion are age-old, the story and the message are still relevant today. And every year, Bach’s masterly music moves us once again. Bach’s masterpiece is in good hands with Rademann. In every St Matthew Passion he performs, this real Bach man – founder of the Dresdner Kammerchor, artistic director of the Bachakademie Stuttgart and regular name at the international music festival Bachfest – seeks out a new contemporary approach, always keeping a careful eye on the monumental character of the work. For decades, he has been one of the most successful choral conductors in Germany. Plenty of reason, therefore, to invite Rademann as the guest conductor for our traditional Passion concerts.

‘Queen of the Baroque violin’ Rachel Podger will lead and inspire the Bach Society with her violin. Instrumental fireworks sparked off by one of today’s best Baroque violinists.Queen of the Baroque violin“What Beethoven was to the symphony, Italian composer and violinist Arcangelo Corelli was to the concerto: a shining example who was known to all composers. In this programme, Rachel Podger shows how far Corelli’s influence extended; way beyond the borders of Italy, to France and Germany. Virtuoso music by composers like Handel and Lully, in which Podger and the instrumental ensemble will shine.
