On Good Friday, 11 April 1727, Johann Sebastian Bach’s St Matthew Passion was performed for the first time during the vesper service in the Thomaskirche in Leipzig. It’s obvious that the composer himself realised that this work would take the history of music in an unprecedented direction. The strong internal cohesion of the narrative, the vast instrumentation of three choirs and two orchestras, the incredible variety of styles and the dimensions of this three-hour musical passion were unheard of. The emotional impact of this masterpiece has not diminished with time!

The musical richness, versatility and inventiveness that Bach displayed for over 200 surviving cantatas are simply astounding. In 1723, he embarked on the realization of a dream he had cherished for a long time: to write a cantata for each Sunday service of the ecclesiastical year. Philippe Herreweghe has selected three splendid works from this period, each bearing witness in its own way to Bach's boundless faith in God.

English

La richesse musicale, la polyvalence et l’inventivité que Bach a déployées pour plus de 200 cantates qui ont été conservées sont tout simplement stupéfiantes. En 1723, il se lance dans la réalisation d’un rêve qu’il caresse depuis longtemps : écrire une cantate pour chaque service dominical de l’année ecclésiastique. Philippe Herreweghe a sélectionné trois œuvres splendides datant de cette période, chacune témoignant à sa manière de la foi illimitée de Bach en Dieu.
