Allerzielen — Nederlandse Bachvereniging
In this edition of Allerzielen, artistic director Johanna Soller presents a program centered around silence and mourning. The selection bridges early Baroque works with John Cage's iconic 4'33''. Featured compositions include pieces by Bach's predecessors in Leipzig—Johann Schelle, Sebastian Knüpfer, and Johann Kuhnau—whose choral melodies offer a reflective meditation on death. The performance highlights how these historical works influenced Bach’s own compositional style, concluding with Cage’s exploration of absolute silence.
