Herreweghe conducts Bach

For Herreweghe, Bach is not merely repertoire, but a lifelong practice. As conductor laureate and a leading authority on Bach, he leads a programme of concentration and inner peace. The orchestral suites range from monumental to festive, while the cantata Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut poignantly explores the soul. In the concerto, the orchestra’s own musicians shine in solo roles, featuring sublime Baroque dialogues between oboe and violin. Herreweghe conducts not by interpreting the music, but by living it. Here, Bach serves as a compass, a source of stability and the very core of existence.
