Darkness, appeasement and redemption are the themes of numerous motets and cantatas in the work of Johann Sebastian Bach, whose position as Cantor led him to produce dozens of works dedicated to Lutheran worship every year. Alongside Insula orchestra and accentus, Laurence Equilbey reinvents this liturgical material to give life to the flamboyance of Bach’s choirs and the refinement of his polyphonic writing.
