Bach's Christmas Oratorio from Carnegie Hall

Tuesday, December 25, 2007

John Schaefer hosts an NPR and WNYC presentation of a Carnegie Hall concert performance of selections from one of the most joyful and sumptuous works from Johann Sebastian Bach. The Collegiate Chorale performs three of six sacred cantatas, each depicting a different scene from Christ's birth, known collectively as the Weihnachts-Oratorium, or Christmas Oratorio, along with some traditional holiday favorites. Robert Bass leads the acclaimed Chorale and soloists, including Soprano Lisa Saffer, Mezzo-soprano Gigi Mitchell-Velasco, Tenor Paul Austin Kelly, and Baritone James Maddalena.
