The Karajan Academy’s collaboration with Reinhard Goebel is a real success story. For many years, the ensemble’s scholars have been profiting from the experience and passion of this conductor, one of the pioneers and leading figures of the Early Music movement. This year, he and the Karajan Academy will put us in the mood to celebrate Christmas with Baroque music from Italy, France and Germany. Some sonorous rarities will be heard, but also the Sinfonia from Bach’s Christmas Oratorio and Arcangelo Corelli’s “Christmas” Concerto.
