Lobgesänge: Concert Various

"William Christie relies on his solid experience of the repertoire as well as on the technicality and commitment of the musicians of the Les Arts Florissants orchestra and choir. No technical barrier hinders the rapid tempi instilled by the conductor, reflecting the joy of the moment." Olyrix
For several years, Les Arts Florissants have been committed to delivering their vision of the great sacred works of Johann Sebastian Bach to the public of the greatest international venues; a rereading which, each time, marked the public and the press both by its novelty (especially in terms of tempo and instrumentation) and by its depth. This is how after  the Christmas Oratorio , the Mass in B minor and the  Passion according to Saint John , William Christie wanted to tackle, in this spring of 2021, the  Magnificat BWV 243.

This reference work, which therefore entered the repertoire of Les Arts Florissants, was written between 1728 and 1731 for the Visitation of the Virgin Mary. By its monumentality and the sacred spirit that animates it, it will offer a new opportunity to highlight the dramatic power of the choir of Les Arts Florissants as well as the infinite expressive palette of the orchestra.
