Musikfestival: L’arpa festante. Markus Uhl - 25. März 1725. Dreihundert Jahre BWV 1

In the organizer's words:

The cantata "Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern" opened the first volume of the Bach Complete Edition in 1851, which is why it was given number 1 in the Bach-Werke-Verzeichnis (BWV) in 1950. The occasion for the composition was the Feast of the Annunciation on March 25, 1725. The concert attempts to reconstruct the vespers service that took place on this day in Leipzig. At the same time, it follows the musicologically well-founded approach of performing Bach's vocal works without a choir, with only five excellent vocal soloists and a baroque orchestra. Bach's music will thus be performed in the most original way possible - beyond the usual performance traditions.
