Bach - Christmas Oratorio
The Christmas Oratorio by Johann Sebastian Bach is composed of six cantatas brought together for the winter celebrations of 1734-1735. During this 2016 concert at the Philharmonie de Paris, Laurence Equilbey takes the reins of Vincent Dumestre's Poème Harmonique. The modernity of the harmonic poem and the Baroque culture of Accentus glorify the vibrant faith of this meditation, from the birth of Jesus to the visit of the Magi, masterfully orchestrated and structured by a Bach at the height of his brilliance. Soloists are Emöke Barath (soprano), Michaëla Selinger (alto), Werner Güra (tenor), and Andreas Wolf (Bass).
