Christmas 1999: English conductor John Eliot Gardiner starts off on an extraordinary musical journey. With his Monteverdi Choir and the English Baroque Soloists he plans to perform the entire body of Johann Sebastian Bach's church cantatas in the year 2000. Bach wrote special cantatas for each sunday and festival day in the church calendar. Gardiner's aim is to perform them on precisely these days.
