Abstract |
2010 marked the 300th anniversary of Wilhelm Friedemann Bach (1710 -- 1784), the eldest son of Johann Sebastian Bach. While rather unknown today, Wilhelm Friedemann was one of the most outstanding headstrong composers of his time. However, after World War Two, many of his works went missing and, amazingly, were found again by the renowned Bach researcher Christoph Wolff (Harvard) in Kiev (Ukraine) in 1999. For the musical world, the rediscovery of these musically and technically highly sophisticated compositions was a sensation. The international TV audience will have the unique opportunity to take part in the world premiere of these four beautiful cantatas, performed in the impressive Augustiner-Church in Mainz. Cantatas: 'Ach, dass du den Himmel zerrissest', 'Gott fahret auf mit Jauchzen', 'Wohl dem, der den Herren furchtet', 'O Wunder, wer kann dieses fassen'. |
