“Early music performance getting stale? Here are three talented and inspirational young musicians showing us there are still new sounds, textures and levels of involvement to be found if you look in the right place.”
Discover the spiritual journey of Erbarme dich!
Erbarme dich! represents a spiritual journey from torment to redemption built around the instrumental transcriptions of arias and sonatas by J. S. Bach, interwoven with the expressive depth of works by Biber and Locke. It is a profound reflection on these universal themes, tracing the full spectrum of human emotion from anger, guilt or remorse to acceptance and, ultimately, peace. The aria from the cantata BWV 55 lends its name to this programme: a plea for mercy of touching vulnerability, signalling the beginning of the journey towards absolution.
