Bach: Magnificat Concerts

  • Bach: Magnificat
    © Jennifer Taylor

Freshly sworn in as Thomaskantor (musical director of the Thomanerchor) in Leipzig, Johann Sebastian Bach was full of energy in 1723 and composed among other things the »Magnificat«, a cantata of praise for the Advent season, for his new choir. Shortly after the Annunciation by the archangel Gabriel, the Virgin Mary tells her cousin the good news of her pregnancy with the Saviour. This message sounds particularly joyful when performed by Vox Luminis, an outstanding early music ensemble.
