BACH, J.S.: Christmas Oratorio, BWV 248 (Highlights)
J. S. Bach’s Christmas Oratorio is a much-loved part of Christmas musical repertoire. Dating from 1734–5, it has six sections marking the season from Christmas Day through to Epiphany, and is scored for four soloists, choir and orchestra. The work abounds with Bach’s most inspired music. These highlights are taken from the highly praised Naxos recording of the complete oratorio, described in the Gramophone magazine as having a ‘freshness of approach and spirited music-making’.
