Ton KoopmanAbout
The cantata “Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern“ BWV 1 for the Feast of Annunciation dates from 1725 and is based on the hymn by Philipp Nicolai that makes use of an older melody.
The chorale cantata "Mit Fried und Freud ich fahr dahin“ BWV 125 was composed about two months earlier and performed at the Feast of Purification in 1725. Its text is based on the hymn by Martin Luther.
“Komm, du süße Todesstunde” BWV 161 was originally written for the 16th Sunday after Trinity and probably received its first performance in the Weimar castle church on September 27 1716.
As an organist, Ton Koopman has performed on the most prestigious historical instruments of Europe, and as a harpsichord player and conductor of his Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra & Choir he has been a regular guest at venues which include the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam, and the Theatre des Champs-Elysées in Paris. In 2006, he was awarded the Bach Medal by the city of Leipzig in recognition of his major contribution to Bach performance and scholarship.
