Work: Jesu, meine Freude - motet, BWV227

The French ensemble Pygmalion enraptures the audience at the first night of the Adelaide Festival with a concert of music by JS Bach and his predecessors.

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

Lars Vogt and Royal Northern Sinfonia deliver Beethoven's Symphony no. 9 with swaggering self-confidence, and heroic chorus singing.
