About

Ever since the foundation of his ensemble in 2009, Damien Guillon has been forging ahead in the (re) discovery of J. S. Bach’s cantatas. ‘Trinitatis’ is devoted to three cantatas for the season after Trinity, for which Le Banquet Céleste has assembled its most seasoned members. Three very different works in which Bach expresses in various ways the emotion that the subject of the prescribed Gospel for the day stirred in him.

July 2023

Despite the album’s preponderance of minor keys, the programme never seems oppressive thanks to Damien Guillon’s judicious direction which cultivates an almost understated poise buttressed by a sure yet unfussy grasp of illuminating detail.
