Weihnachts-Oratorium
Every year, the Nederlands Kamerkoor performs Bach's masterpiece for Christmas with another top European Baroque ensemble. This year, the choir collaborates with the renowned German baroque ensemble Concerto Köln, conducted by chief conductor Peter Dijkstra.
The Nederlands Kamerkoor has now developed a tradition around the performance of this work that makes this the ultimate performance. In recent years, the choir has worked with Freiburger Barock Orchester, Les Talens Lyriques, Concerto Copenhagen, Collegium 1704, Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin and B'Rock, among others.
There is a top cast of soloists with whom the whole guarantees a perfect performance. The Weihnachts-Oratorium by the Nederlands Kamerkoor is not to be missed!
Press reactions to this programme
"★★★★ It feels like walking through a snowy landscape: the voices are clear as the fresh air, the orchestra subtly crackles like snow under your feet." - NRC
"If Bach had wanted his Weihnachtsoratorium to sound as if heaven opened up and angels descended, the Nederlands Kamerkoor made it happen." - Allegiance
"Can it get more beautiful, more joyful, more intense, more spiritual, yes even more ethereal than this Weihnachts-Oratorium of the great Bach in a packed, atmospherically lit Pieterskerk? Yes, Peter Dijkstra is capable of that! With 'his' Nederlands Kamerkoor and his very familiar Concerto Köln, you get the feeling that this Christmas experience transcends all others." - Leids Dagblad
