Zum Programm

The motets of Johann Sebastian Bach sound so artistic and magnificent, indeed they radiate joy! You could almost forget that they were composed for funerals and memorial services. The Kammerchor Cantus Stuttgart shows its artistry in three of the great motets, these incomparable vocal works written with great virtuosity in up to eight parts. These are complemented by Willibald Bezler’s setting of Psalm 47 from 2002. Like the Bach works, this also praises God’s greatness in joyful sounds.
