Bach Handel
As Thomaskantor, Johann Sebastian Bach was responsible for the music in the main churches of the city of Leipzig from 1723. Many of his famous vocal works were composed in the Leipzig years, including the Magnificat , which Bach performed at Christmas the year he took office. In keeping with the high holiday, he designed the work for soloists, a five-part choir and a festive orchestra with timpani and trumpets. The work is based on Mary's hymn of praise from the Gospel of Luke, which Bach set to music in Latin. Riccardo Minasi performs Bach's Magnificat on the fourth Sunday of Advent with the Balthasar Neumann Choir and the Orchestra La Scintilla and combines it with the psalm setting Dixit Dominuswhich Georg Friedrich Handel wrote at the age of only 22 on behalf of the Catholic Church in Rome.
