Collegium 1704 / Václav Luks

Collegium 1704 is one of the most inspired young early music ensembles. The Christmas Oratorio is the highlight of the glorious years that Bach experienced in 1734-1735. Seldom did he reconcile inspiration and dedication, imagination and discipline with greater panache than during this period. This work is perfectly suited to conductor Václav Luks. You can be certain that musicians and singers will perform the score with razor-sharp precision and total conviction. All this dedication pays off, and every line is emphasised. Once you step back out into the cold winter’s night, you’ll be warmed to the core.

Concert of Collegium 1704 is organized with kind support of the Czech Ministry of Culture.
