Lionel-Groulx] A co-production with the Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal — Cantatas by Bach — 12 musicians and 8 singers To explore Bach’s cantatas, which Gérard Zwang described as “the Himalayas of music,” is a never-failing pleasure. Les Boréades join the voices of the Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal to present the Cantatas Liebster Gott, wenn werd ich sterben, BWV 8 and Schmücke dich, o liebe Seele, BWV 180, as well as the beautiful sinfonias that open cantatas BWV 42 and 209. This music, naturally, features the recorder and the traverso. |
