Nederlandse Bachvereniging

Silence and reflection on death: this All Souls' Day, the theme of the Dutch Bach Society is death. Johanna Soller takes the orchestra and soloists on a journey through the work of various Thomascantors. Composers who influenced Bach also have their say. Ultimately, the new artistic director of the orchestra silences everyone by programming John Cage's silent 4'33" between penetrating reflections on the death of Johann Sebastian Bach and his predecessors in Leipzig.
