Ton Koopman and Amsterdam Baroque Choir
Music
Description
Description
Conductor, organist and harpsichordist, Ton Koopman is considered one of the great specialists in Baroque music. Among his most ambitious projects, it has been the recording of the complete Bach cantatas, a massive undertaking for which he has been awarded the Deutsche Schallplattenpreis Echo Klassik, BBC Award, Prix Hector Berlioz and has been nominated for the Grammy Award (the United States) and Gramophone Award (the United Kingdom).
Ton Koopman returns to the Hong Kong stage with the Amsterdam Baroque Choir he founded in 1992, bringing us an extraordinary concert comprised of contrasting repertoires from Bach’s sophisticated motets to Brahms’ secular choral works, including his cycle of gypsy songs.
“Bach is able to compose in a way that mind and emotion are in a fantastic balance.”, Koopman said. “It is a pleasure to see the same choir interpret these two very different types of repertoires. After the first part (of Bach’s motets), the atmosphere changes completely; in Brahms’ songs, in effect, we find the ideal life where everything is allowed. There is even a little swing in the choir!”
The Amsterdam Baroque Choir is considered among today’s most outstanding choirs for its rare combination of textural clarity and interpretative flexibility.
