The Messiah in Bach Cantatas
The legacy of Johann Sebastian Bach in the cantata genre constitutes a fascinating cosmos full of musical beauty and expressions of profound faith and human emotions. References to topics from the New Testament, chiefly the life and death of Jesus Christ, are among the frequent topics of the setting. Thanks to Bach’s immortal music, deeds of the Saviour come alive in front of us with extraordinarily direct communicability. Rudolfinum, Prague, Czech Republic
