Bach Ensemble Lucerne: "Frank Martin meets Johann Sebastian Bach"
Overview
Intro
Choral and orchestral music by Swiss composer Frank Martin (1890-1974) in dialog with Johann Sebastian Bach is the 2025 theme of the Bach Ensemble Lucerne.
This year, the Bach Ensemble Lucerne is dedicating itself not only to J.S. Bach but also to the Swiss composer Frank Martin, the fiftieth anniversary of whose death was in 2024. His mass for double choir is one of the most popular works of contemporary choral music! Although it was composed around one hundred years ago, this impressive work was only premiered forty years later. The "Etudes pour orchestre à cordes" from 1956 demonstrate the full range of sound possibilities of a string orchestra.
The concert ends with J.S. Bach's cantata "Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern". A festive sound with horns, cor anglais and solo violin characterizes this choral cantata, which was first performed exactly 300 years ago!
