The baroque orchestra Il Fuoco eterno performs festive music by Johann Sebastian Bach under the direction of Christoph Anzböck.

As organist in Mühlhausen in Thuringia in 1708, it fell to none other than the 22-year-old Johann Sebastian Bach to compose the festive music for the change of councillors. The cantata "God is my King" is an early masterpiece by the future Thomaskantor. Here, the young Bach already reveals himself to be a master of instrumentation: in addition to the festive trumpets, recorders and the then modern French oboes complement the string ensemble. French influences are also evident in the festive music by Philipp Heinrich Erlebach and Georg Muffat, which complements this splendid program. The baroque orchestra Il Fuoco eterno has made a name for itself in recent years, particularly for the rediscovery of as yet unknown masterpieces. It performs together with Jessica Jans (soprano), Jan Börner (alto), Jakob Pilgram (tenor) and Dominik Wörner (bass) under the direction of Christoph Anzböck.
