Annotation
The Christmas concert will be dedicated to the works of two true giants of the Baroque repertoire – Johann Sebastian Bach and Georg Philipp Telemann. Both are among the leading composers of sacred cantatas, not only in terms of quality but also in terms of quantity. In his time, Telemann was even better known than his contemporary Bach; for example, when the new Leipzig Cantor was appointed in 1722, Telemann was the first choice. Bach only gained this important position in his career at his third attempt. Let us listen and reflect as we listen to the consummate rendition of Telemann´s joyful Magnicifat and contemplative Bach´s Christmas cantatas by Hana Blažíková, Lucie Karafiátová, Ondřej Holub, Jaromír Nosek and the Collegium Marianum ensemble.
