Philippe Herreweghe conductor
You can’t ask Philippe Herreweghe to play his favourite Bach cantatas – the time allotted for a concert just wouldn’t be long enough. He has, however, selected three of those illustrious works to close his jubilee edition of the Bach Academy, among them, Bach’s most magnificent funeral cantata Lass, Fürstin.
