A German Passion
A passion according to Jesus, bringing together the works of composers as different as Josquin Desprez, André Campra, and Johann Sebastian Bach. Taking up this new challenge at the head of the Choeur de Chambre de Namur, the brilliant Argentine conductor Leonardo García Alarcón has come up with a sequence that preserves the continuity of the narrative while revealing extraordinary similarities between works that at first sight seem poles apart.
