Genoeg: Nederlandse Bachvereniging, Václav Luks & Kresimir Strazanac at Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ Amsterdam
Νοσταλγική, underground βραδιά orchestra
Piet Heinkade 1, 1019 BR Amsterdam, Netherlands
When can you as a person be truly satisfied? Bach expressed this question incomparably in his famous cantata Ich habe genug. This performance explores the concept of ambition, contrasting Bach’s ode to contentment with the career of Jan Dismas Zelenka, who despite being admired by Bach, never achieved the position of Kapellmeister he so desired. The program features Bach’s masterpiece Ich habe genug BWV 82, a work that breathes peace, warmth, and surrender. It is paired with Zelenka’s Orkestsuite in F groot and Lamentationes, as well as Pisendel’s Violin Concerto in G. Together, these works create a dialogue about contentment, ambition, and the pursuit of artistic fulfillment.
