Baroque sounds conquer Delmenhorst: Inspiring summer concert!
On Wednesday evening, July 3, 2025, the City Church of the Holy Trinity in Delmenhorst opened its doors for the first of this year's “summer concerts”. Cantor Jörg Hitz welcomed the audience, which was a bit shy at the beginning, but the atmosphere quickly changed. Those present could look forward to a lively program with works by great baroque composers such as Georg Philipp Telemann, Dieterich Buxtehude, Nicolaus Bruhns and Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber.
A very special highlight was the performance of Telemann's cantata “Shepherd and Bishop of Our Souls”, presented with a virtuoso performance by Carla Linné on the violin and Francisco Henriques on the bass. This performance was just one of many that invited the audience to clap and feel along. Hitz himself accompanied on the continuo and Thomas Fields played on the cello, which gave the entire piece a liveliness.
A varied program
The musical journey continued with Buxtehude’s “Praeludium, Fuga e Ciaconna in C,” which shone with Hitz’s dynamic and expressive execution. Bruhns' Prelude in E minor also received a very special touch thanks to his passionate interpretation. Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber's “Nisi Dominus” was performed as a violin concerto with obbligato singing voice and basso continuo. Outstanding dialogues between violin and singer, supported by the continuo duo, made for a captivating performance that was rewarded with great applause.
The performance of the two soloists is particularly noteworthy: Francisco Henriques showed an impressive mastery of the bass coloratura, while Carla Linné captivated the audience with her finger and bow tricks. Hitz and Fields also delivered a sensitive continuo game that rounded off the evening perfectly.
