Concert No.5

Bach or Pergolesi?

David Shemer - conductor

Daniela Skorka - soprano

Margot Oitzinger - mezzo-soprano (Austria)

The dividing line between the original version of the work and an arrangement of it has become blurred in J.S.Bach's Cantata BWV 1083 "Tilge, Höchester, meine Sünden" (Cancel, Highest, my sins), this being an arrangement of Pergolesi's well-known "Stabat Mater", which was written and published some years earlier. Bach gives the work new textual meaning, enriches the orchestration and adds his own unique touches. The program also offers audiences a wonderful opportunity to enjoy Vivaldi's remarkable "Nisi Dominus", another journey into the depths of existence.
