Zurück zur WebsiteCollegium 1704
During the Passion season, for many people today there is only one great composer of sacred music, namely Johann Sebastian Bach with his Passion oratorios. The Lutheran Thomaskantor from Leipzig had a Catholic colleague at the Dresden court who was his equal and whom he himself held in high esteem: Jan Dismas Zelenka. Its current rediscovery is mainly due to the Czech conductor Václav Luks and his top-class vocalists and instrumentalists from the Collegium 1704. For Heidelberg, Luks has put together Passion music that reveals Zelenka's contrapuntal skills, his flair for emotional drama, and also his sometimes bold harmonies.
The concert is part of the "Ideal Ensembles" program series.
