Sacred Cantatas: Bach and the Divine
Sacred Cantatas: Bach and the Divine
Benjamin Appl is already one of the most exciting lieder-singers of his generation, and here he gets back to Bach in a very personal recital that’s just as thoughtful and intimate as any lieder recital.
‘Bach belongs not to the past, but to the future’ said George Bernard Shaw, and it’s only in the era of modern recordings, perhaps, that we’ve been able to grasp the full scope and richness of Bach’s 200-plus cantatas. Tonight’s programme ranges from extracts from the iconic St Matthew Passion to some of Bach’s least known but loveliest cantatas.
Benjamin Appl - baritone
Leo Duarte - oboe
Masato Suzuki - director/harpsichord
