Joy and jubilation in Bach's ornate Christmas cantatas

There is no better prelude to Christmas than Bach's festive Christmas Oratorio. In the run-up to Christmas 1734, fifty-year-old Bach – then at the height of his artistic ability – assembled his entire Christmas oratorio in just a few weeks. To accomplish this, he drew from his entire oeuvre and thus saved some of his finest melodies from oblivion. Resident artists Vox Luminis brings us four cantatas from Bach's joyful Christmas story.
