John Eliot Gardiner – Bach: BWV 248 Pt. 1: 1. Jauchzet, frohlocket, auf, preiset die Tage (excerpt)

In the historic Weimar Herder Church, Sir John Eliot Gardiner finds the perfect setting for his recording of Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. Against the backdrop of the dramatic altar and Lucas Granach paintings, the Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists perform Gardiner’s fresh interpretation of this classic piece. For the renowned conductor, this Weimar concert is a special performance, marking the start of his Bach Cantata Pilgrimage. With this concert, Gardiner shows himself once again to be an incontestable specialist of Bach’s music. John Eliot Gardiner – Bach: BWV 248 Pt. 1: 1.
