The historic city of Leipzig is known as the “holy land of Bach.” Bach spent most of the latter half of his life as cantor (music director) at St. Thomas Church. This festival is the world’s largest celebration of Bach’s music, featuring concerts by leading Bach experts from around the globe and drawing a massive gathering of Bach enthusiasts from all over the world. The performances that drew the most attention at the 2013 festival were Gardiner’s “St. John Passion” and the “Mass in B minor” performed by the St. Thomas Church Choir and the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra. The St. Thomas Church Choir, a traditional ensemble that celebrated its 800th anniversary in 2012, and the current cantor, Georg Christoph Biller—who holds the position as Bach’s successor—will conduct, while the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, one of Germany’s most prestigious early music ensembles, will provide the accompaniment—making for a truly lavish performance. When it comes to the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra’s performance of the “B Minor,” there is the renowned 1996 recording conducted by Hengelblock; however, this performance also showcased the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra’s exceptional artistry, making for a memorable conclusion to the music festival.\nKing International\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Accentus Music","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53414288195873,"sku":"4260234830569","price":5990.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4260234830569.jpg?v=1788096548","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4260234830569","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
