Et resurrexit
Belgium / Bruges
'Kommt, eilet und laufet', because this Easter Sunday resident artists Vox Luminis are celebrating their 20th anniversary with Bach's festive Easter Oratorio from 1725. As befits a real spiritual drama, four Biblical characters each highlight an aspect of Jesus's miraculous Resurrection in some of Bach's most beautiful arias. The festivities continue with Jan Dismas Zelenka's Easter Mass, written in 1726 for the magnificent Catholic court of Dresden. Happy (re)birthday!
