Bach - Sonata no. 5 in C major BWV 529 - Koopman | Netherlands Bach Society

The cantatas of Johann Sebastian Bach reflect a richness of culture that has no parallel in European musical history: More than two hundred works filled with melodic invention, masterful polyphony, stirring choral writing and poignant arias which, to this day, continue to bring joy, inspiration and an occasion for reflection to musicians and audiences all over the world. The Prague Spring will this year host Ton Koopman, one of the greatest authorities on Bach who, together with his ensembles, will present three works in the genre.

Rudolfinum

Taking part in the series of chorale cantata performances by Bach choirs from all over the world is the world-famous conductor and president of the Leipzig Bach Archive, Ton Koopman. With his Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir, he will present eight selected cantatas portraying the master chorale writer Bach at different periods in his career. The programme includes Bach’s earliest chorale cantata, »Christ lag in Todesbanden« (»Christ lay in the snares of death«), written in Mühlhausen around 1707, as well as the moving »Ach Gott, wie manches Herzeleid« (»Ah God, how much heartbreak«) from 1725 and the magnificent nine-verse chorale »In allen meinen Taten« (»In all my deeds«), which Bach composed in 1734.
