Bram Kortekaas: Geistliches Lied by Johannes Brahms (arr. for choir and orchestra)
Daniel Reuss, the Netherlands’ most celebrated choral conductor, leads the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra and Cappella Amsterdam in a Bach-packed concert, culminating in the majestic Magnificat.
Choral conductor and Bach connoisseur Daniel Reuss and his choir Cappella Amsterdam are regular guests of the Netherlands Chamber Orchestra. This time they play a concert in which Bach is central. The composer wrote a radiant version of the Magnificat for soloists, choir and a festive orchestra with three trumpets and timpani. They can also be heard in the Orchestral Suite no. 3. With its strong opening, famous Air and elated Gigue, it is the perfect prelude to this concert.
Brahms was a great admirer of Bach. This is evident in his vocal works, such as the poignant motet Warum ist das Licht gegeben en het and the canonical Geistliches Lied.
Geistliches Lied, originally composed by Brahms for a choir and organ, is to hear in a version for choir and orchestra rearranged by a young Dutch composer Bram Kortekaas.
