Two composers respond to six texts in strikingly different ways. Bach’s motets are full of expressive intensity and deep devotion – vibrant works in which voices interweave with urgency. Sven-David Sandström conjures a luminous choral sound world, charged with emotional power. Across three centuries, the same words come vividly to life.
Running time approx. 1 hour 50 minutes including interval.
