MARIE-SOPHIE POLLAK | Christmas baroque music with Concerto Köln

A festive Christmas Day awaits in Cologne's Philharmonie, together with the radiant voice of Marie-Sophie Pollak in Christmas arias, Max Volbers conjures up the sounds of shepherds from his recorder and Concerto Köln provides the original baroque sound.

Johann Sebastian Bach's aria ‘Jauchzet Gott in allen Landen’ is a virtuoso firework display, jubilant and full of joie de vivre. Marie-Sophie Pollak is the ideal interpreter for this and other splendid arias by both Bach and his contemporary Johann Adolph Scheibe. Recorder player and harpsichordist Max Volbers, who is also both arranger and orchestrater, contributes special repertoire features, and the musicians of Concerto Köln will go all out to present the audience with Christmas baroque music that is as magnificent as it is authentic.
