Eastern instruments, a German string quartet, two jazz saxophones and Arabic vocals, alternated with traditional Turkish music and early Christian songs and supported by five dancing dervishes, all combine to give a rendition of Bach’s Passions. According to the Business Times ‘Bach would have turned in his grave. Then he’d have stepped out, dusted himself and paid attention.’ Because, what Vladimir Ivanoff and his Ensemble Saraband put on stage is a truly inspired cross-over between East and West, a performance that blurs boundaries and focuses on man’s universal passion and compassion with his fellow man. As Maurice Kagel once put it: ‘Not all musicians believe in God, but all believe in Bach.’
