If there is one work that sheds light on all facets of festive music-making during the Christmas season, it is Johann Sebastian Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. This music transcends the ages and radiates throughout the world – starting in Leipzig, where the six-part cantata cycle was first heard in the two main churches of St. Nikolai and St. Thomas on the festive days between 25 December 1734 and 6 January 1735.
This year, the new Thomaskantor in Leipzig and 18th successor to Johann Sebastian Bach, Andreas Reize, will conduct the complete Christmas Oratorio.
