The match between Holland Baroque Society and Eric Vloeimans has a little of both. One of the marriage partners – leaving aside who is the bride and who the groom – stands firmly in the world of the Baroque but pricks up its ears to the sounds of today. The other is a magician on the trumpet, improvising, composing, listening and ever ready to learn. A marriage between two such different partners inevitably blurs boundaries and makes time flow. The trumpet, historical instruments and best man March Constandse on the bandoneon merge to create a colourful present for all listeners, like the icing on a wedding cake.
Holland Baroque Society acts as host with five top pieces from the world of early music. Firstly, a lament by Johann Christoph Bach, a distant cousin and predecessor of the great Johann Sebastian Bach. The motet Ach, dass ich Wassers gnug hätte evokes a world of sorrow with a fragment from the Book of Jeremiah: ‘O that my head were a spring of water, and my eyes a fountain of tears, so that I might weep day and night for the slain of my poor people’.
Of overwhelming beauty is Bach’s portrayal of the sighs and sobs of the prophet – and here the trumpet too. In a more hopeful mood is the chorale Ertöt uns durch deine Güte, which is really a homage to the passing of time and the circle of life, with a final glimpse of salvation. This version of Johann Sebastian Bach’s creation, taken from the cantata Herr Christ, der einige Gottessohn, begins with the most fragile of sounds from the bandoneon. The mild melody invites exploration, seeming to lead even to a clash, after which Eric Vloeimans and Marc Constandse rejoin the genious Bach.
