Le Concert Lorrain & Dresdner Kammerchor olv. Christoph Prégardien

The timpani are beating, trumpets fill the air with excitement and the choir exults: it is Christmas. With the ‘Christmas Oratorio’, Bach wrote majestic music for the coming of the baby Jesus. Six cantatas narrate the Christmas story in a simple, direct way. Delicious arias and choirs provide a commentary, set the mood or offer contemplation. Simple chorales invite the audience to share in the joy of the birth.

Christoph Prégardien and Le Concert Lorrain return to us in fine form, together with the Dresdner Kammerchor, one of the very best chamber choirs. The masterful orchestral passages will shine, and on top of that you will be getting virtuoso choirs and inspired arias. Not to mention the warm feeling you will take out with you into the cold winter’s night after the concert.
