About

Soprano arias by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) and Swedish folk chorales, performed by soprano Maria Keohane, Camerata Kilkenny (Maya Homburger - baroque violin, Sarah McMahon - baroque cello, and Malcolm Proud - chamber organ).

“Choosing a selection of arias from Bach’s cantatas and mirroring them in the Dala Chorales has been a challenging, but also a very natural process. The messages portrayed in the texts are of the same world. Virtuoso, multi-faceted music crosses over to the naked chorales, both in Bach’s world and in that of the Dala Chorales.

“My wish is to interpret Bach with sincerity and heart, waiving the enticement to present his music as a technical display of virtuosity. At the same time I hope to present the chorales from Dalarna with the seriousness that they deserve. Above all, I want to share with you the joy and passion that at one time was sparked by the presence of an oversized violin in the hands of a child.”

– Maria Keohane
