Lionel Meunier, conductor

Vox Luminis takes us on a veritable journey through time, offering the Stavelot audience a beautiful selection of motets by Johann Sebastian Bach – music in which the Leipzig Cantor draws inspiration from the choral tradition as conceived by Martin Luther in the 16th century. To the simplicity of the genre’s origins, Bach brings all his skill in the expression of emotions, transforming these prayers into true Baroque tableaux, rich in the colours of the instruments and intense fervour.
