Amarcord & Lautten Compagney olv. Wolfgang Katschner

It is undisputed that Bach’s six motets, written for funerals, are highlights of his career. To be approached with reverence and respect. But this also brings with it the danger that they will become fossilised. But not if the conductor is Wolfgang Katschner. He sees the works as a monument, not a mausoleum. He seeks refreshingly creative and highly individual new possibilities. The playful friskiness, clear, lively, virtuoso, always leaves room for contemplation and penetrating moments of emotion.
