Huge thanks to Red Dot Baroque for having me once again – it’s always such a pleasure and joy working with them. Till next time!
Completing the group was bass-baritone John Lee, who sang in three works by Alessandro Scarlatti (Domenico’s father), Nicolas Bruhns (a resident of Husum) and J.S.Bach himself. He has a deeply sonorous voice, totally suited for this music, and even if one did not understand Italian, Latin or German, one could still feel the gravitas.

was an impassioned cry for help, a work of true pathos,
its spirit captured perfectly by John Lee.
