    Overview

    Bach’s sublime solo cantata ‘Ich habe genug’, written in Leipzig in1727, and Telemann’s so-called Passion Cantata, Die stille Nacht,create ideal conditions for reflection on matters spiritual.

    Philippe Jaroussky’s artistry flows from his studies as a violinist andsubsequent rise to become one of the finest countertenors of ourtime. His refined feeling for melodic line and the emotions behindwords have won critical plaudits worldwide, leading The New YorkTimes, to declare that ‘There are countertenors, and then there isMr Jaroussky’.

    He is joined by Julien Chauvin’s recently foundedLe Concert de la Loge for its Wigmore Hall debut.
