Christmas Oratory: Weihnachts-Oratorium

Bach's exultant nativity

The Baroque Orchestra of Seville (OBS), about whose excellence and international quality there are already too many explanations, once again collaborates with the Teatro de la Maestranza with the best baroque musical Christmas celebration imaginable. For Bach's Christmas Oratorio BWV 248, abandoning its usual practice of adjusting the cantata story to the content of the Gospel reading planned for the day of its performance, narrates the Christmas cycle, from the birth of Jesus to the adoration of the Three Wise Men, in a more agile and understandable narrative form. And, of course, celebratory and often musically exultant.

The "parodic style", taken to the limit of sophistication, in a work that, despite being "broken" into six different cantatas, maintains great global coherence. Johann Sebastian Bach conceived 6 cantatas to premiere them one by one in the Church of Saint Thomas in Leipzig on the indicated days from December 25 to 27, 1734 and on January 1, 2 and 6, 1735. This distribution seems to speak of a scattered work. However, the manuscript clearly identifies it as an "oratorio" and specialists have underlined the coherence and unitary personality of the piece. At least twenty pieces of the oratorio have their origin in earlier secular works by Bach himself.

Together with the Windsbach Children's Choir conducted by Ludwing Böhme, the OBS brings together an excellent quartet of singers -Isabel Schicketanz, Marie Henriette Reinhold, Patrick Grahl and Thomas Laske- to offer us 4 of the 6 cantatas that make up the Oratorio: number 1 - the birth-, number 2 -the warning to the shepherds-, number 3 -the adoration of the shepherds- and number 6 -adoration of the Magi-.
