Bach’s genius is on full display in this monumental masterpiece, composed of six cantatas that recount the story of the Nativity. Its powerful arias rise like majestic columns, its intricate vocalizations act as finely sculpted ornaments, and its clarity illuminates the stained glass and brings the colours to life.

This veritable cathedral of sound reaches its fullest expression when performed in a setting as breathtaking as Montréal’s Notre-Dame Basilica, under the baton of visionary architect Yannick Nézet-Séguin.
