For more than 50 years, he has been exploring the sound cosmos of Johann Sebastian Bach, and his own name also has an almost magical ring to it: Philippe Herreweghe, the Belgian conductor who makes music from every era sound so incredibly clear and elegant. The excitement was correspondingly great when he declared a few years ago that he was now »a little tired of Bach«. This makes the programs in which one can encounter Philippe Herreweghe and Bach together all the more valuable – as here in the form of the B minor Suite with the popular »Badinerie« and the soprano solo cantata »Mein Herze schwimmt im Blut«, with Dorothee Mields, known for her slender, beautiful soprano, as the soloist. For Philippe Herreweghe, it was always clear that he did not want to be reduced to a baroque conductor. That, he says, is »like an actor only declaiming Shakespeare or Molière. The more I do Bruckner, the better I understand Bach and vice versa. That’s a good interaction.« Not Bruckner, but Franz Schubert is now on his »Baroque+« program, the so-called »unfinished« Symphony. Here, too, he will once again focus entirely on the virtues of clarity and the attention to detail that make his interpretations so profound. »Others,« says Herreweghe, »defend their interpretative freedom, but that’s just false routine. I defend the score.«
