The Musicians of the Louvre know Bach well, having recorded The Passion according to Saint John (the CD has just been released by Warner/Errato).
The composer will be particularly honored this season since the Orchestra devotes 5 programs to him, including this Christmas Oratorio.
Bach wrote it in 1734. While a cantor in Liepzig, he composed sacred music for the parish.
This piece comprises six cantatas: three celebrate Christmas, one the New Year, the other the first Sunday of the year and the last the Epiphany.
The lyrics are taken from the Gospels, the Old Testament and various authors including Luther.
