J.s. Bach: Christmas Oratorio Bwv 248

Monteverdi Choir; English Baroque Soloists

Composed by: Bach, Johann Sebastian

Against the dramatic backdrop of the historic Weimar Herder Church, Sir John Eliot Gardiner, the Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists found the perfect setting for his recording of the Bach Christmas Oratorio. This Weimar concert was a special performance, marking the start of his Bach Cantata Pilgrimage. Also included are two complementary documentaries: “J.S. Bach: Jauchzet, frohlocket! An Introduction to the Christmas Oratorio”, and “Bach revisited - J.E. Gardiner in Saxony and Thuringia”, in which the British conductor sets his mind to performing all of Bach's cantatas.
