Bach's Easter Oratorio
Advertisement
We return to Tilford Bach Festival to perform JS Bach’s Easter Oratorio and Cantata 21: Ich hatte viel Bekummernis.
We join the London Handel Players, and exceptional soloists - Hilary Cronin (soprano), Hugh Cutting, (alto) Sam Boden (tenor), and Edward Grint (bass) perform these pieces of great drama and emotional intensity.
The sublime Easter Oratorio differs from Bach’s other sacred works in having no original biblical text, no Evangelist narrator and no chorales; the recitatives and arias are sung by four biblical characters, almost like a Passion Play.
The cantata, "Ich hatte viel Bekümmernis" starts in sombre mood; but shifts to the joyful assurance of salvation, closing with a triumphant hymn of praise.
