When we reflect on the historical context of Bach’s music, we find ourselves in the era shortly before the dawn of the Enlightenment. To be sure, Bach’s musical genius renders the intellectual cage golden – but a cage remains a cage. We at the Bach Foundation, as heirs of the Enlightenment, had a natural desire to break free from such constraints – to let our choir, orchestra and outstanding soloists perform something different for a change! In 2013, this wish, long harboured by Rudolf Lutz, the artistic director of the Foundation, and me, its founder, was fulfilled.

Bach im Fluss is a thematic collage of selected movements from cantatas and instrumental works compiled by Arthur Godel and Rudolf Lutz.
Who, upon hearing Bach’s music, can fail to feel its powerful rhythmic momentum – indeed, the pulse of time itself? Yet behind this striking of the hour, there is a sense of eternity – a timeless sea from which all waters spring and whence they return, as was the worldview in Bach’s era.

Haydn’s Missa in tempore belli (Mass in Time of War) ‒ a classical work for our times. Indeed, his faith was never of the bleak, incessantly penitential kind, but cheerful, reconciled and trusting, and it was in this spirit that he composed his sacred works, too. (Georg August Griesinger on Joseph Haydn, 1810).

For once, a recitative is the focus of a cantata. In BWV 47, the opening chorus, two arias, and the final chorale are grouped around the central statement “Mankind is dirt, stench, earth and ashes,” which can hardly be surpassed in clarity. It takes a soloist with a powerful voice and experience of life to get the message across credibly!
