It's that time again: The Berlin Cathedral is filled with drum rolls, trumpet fanfares and the magnificent singing of the great oratorio choir of the Berlin Cathedral Choir to proclaim the motto of the Christmas classic par excellence: "Rejoice, rejoice, praise the days!"



Year after year, listeners from all over the world get in the mood for the most wonderful time of the year with Johann Sebastian Bach's "Christmas Oratorio" in the Berlin Cathedral.


This masterpiece offers a whole universe of captivating music: Lively choral pieces alternate with lyrical arias, delicate flute sounds meet jubilant trumpets, contemplative chorales and beguiling string music create a heavenly atmosphere on earth.


Bach's "Christmas Oratorio" is music that is timeless and almost unearthly. The Berliner Domkantorei sings under the imposing dome of the Berlin Cathedral, accompanied by the baroque orchestra Aris et Aulis under the direction of cathedral cantor Adrian Büttemeier.
