Cappella Amsterdam - P��rt & Bach

Arvo Pärt has been the most performed living composer in the world for years. But his monumental Kanon Pokajanen (1997) for four-part choir was rarely heard – until Daniel Reuss and Cappella Amsterdam took on this masterpiece with great success a few years ago. Now parts of this deeply religious work will be heard alongside motets by Bach.

Deeply religious masterpieces by 2 great composers

Bach wrote his motets for special occasions and often for a one-off performance. They are therefore not all well archived and some motets have probably been lost. Daniel Reuss: 'I also call them the bible of music. I have lived with these motets for about forty years and I can dream them. There are no pieces that I have studied more, or to which I feel more connected. I think it is fantastic to be able to conduct the works again after many years.'
