J.S. BACH: CHRISTMAS CANTATAS Sigiswald Kuijken and Students from the Royal Conservatory Brussels
From 20 December 2023 to 21 December 2023/ Belgium / Brussels & Valenciennes
Under Sigiswald Kuijken' s direction - a pioneer in research in playing technique of stringed instruments from the Baroque and Classical periods - students from Brussel Early Music department celebrate Johann Sebastian Bach by performing his Christmas cantatas.
J.S. Bach music in our days is a myth, and is indeed quite demanding. Many questions arise at the moment of performing it. The solutions elaborated by Sigiswald Kuijken, thanks to a very long and extensive experience, are both exhilarating and efficient. Performing two cantatas from the Christmas Oratorio and one orchestral Suite under his direction is going to be a intense experience, and will provide, doubtless, a fascinating musical result.
