Work: Fürchte dich nicht - motet, BWV228

Taking two generations of the Bach family, Solomon’s Knot reinvigorate their motets with vision and excellent execution. 

Bach, Biber, St. John's Smith Square. Clever juxtapositions, and they worked. The programmer of this concert - by the Monteverdi Choir and English Baroque Solists under Sir John Eliot Gardiner - had a neat thought, to place Bach's six Motets (BWV 225-230) into the former church in SW1. The building and the motets date from the same decade, the 1720's.

Tandis que le chœur s'est montré exemplaire dans cette partition romantique chargée, Stéphane Degout et Sabine Devieilhe ont fait des solistes inspirés.
