The music of the great Baroque genius Johann Sebastian Bach is an unparalleled monument to faith, profoundly capturing the many facets of the relationship between man and God. It is the painful repentance of being lost, the open cry for help, the personal experience of Jesus’ suffering, the hope that overcomes death, the blessed peace of God’s closeness, the joyful praise of His faithfulness.
In Bach’s church cantatas, masses, passions and other large-scale sacred works consisting of choral numbers, ensembles and solo arias, it is usually the arias that convey the very personal, intimate relationship between man and God, full of a variety of emotions and experiences. The programme of J.S. Bach’s music, prepared by baroque singer Renata Dubinskaitė and organist Vilimas Norkūnas, features sacred arias of divine beauty and works for solo organ, lifting the hearts of the audience to heaven.
