Album insights
At the heart of a new recording centered on the correlation between Bach and Anton Webern lies Bach’s cantata "Christ lag in Todesbanden". This piece sets the stage for "Morimur," the renowned performance by Christoph Poppen and the Hilliard Ensemble that unveiled "hidden chorales" in Bach’s "Ciaconna." Leading the project is Christoph Poppen, who acts as the guiding force behind this endeavor. This recording features the Munich Chamber Orchestra, showcasing Poppen's unique orchestration of Webern’s illuminating String Quartet from 1905.
