About the Performance
Sir John Eliot Gardiner and his Choir and orchestra offer a fresh and inspiring interpretation of Bach's cantatas which has won them acclaim around the world. They reach right to the heart of this music and guide audiences through what are some of JS Bach's most dramatic sacred works. In these Cantatas, written for the Feast of St Michael and All Angels, the music ranges from burly to sublime.
