About the Performance
JS Bach's cantatas lie at the heart of his musical output; a huge body of vocal and instrumental music composed to enhance and enrich religious ceremonies and social occasions.
Alongside some of Europe's finest young musicians Swedish soprano Maria Keohane performs Handel's solo cantata Silete Venti and Bach's life-affirming wedding cantata Weichet nur, betrübte Schatten while Lars Ulrik Mortensen, one of the finest harpsichord players of his generation, performs Bach's virtuosic concerto in D major.
