Maarten Engeltjes sings the most beautiful pearls of Bach
(Re)discoveries that will linger in your head for a long time
In Bach’s vocal oeuvre, the soprano and the alto occupy are privileged. Yet we know that in his spiritual and secular cantatas quite a few arias are hidden that hardly anyone has ever heard: arias that can be listened to very rarely in concert halls and that are seldomly recorded on CD. The beautiful aria ‘Wo zwei und drei versammlet sind’ from cantata BWV42 is an example. Maarten Engeltjes and Emöke Bárath, interpretors of Bach’s music on the world’s most famous stages, want to change this and join forces in this program. You will hear lesser known but certainly not less beautiful arias by Bach.
