Berliner Barock Solisten/Kapelis – Bach: Complete Keyboard Concertos

Igor Levit / Berliner Barock Solisten

When Igor Levit takes his seat at the keyboard, one thing is for sure: you’ll hear the pieces on the programme as never before. The German-Russian pianist makes his very own mark, often as unexpected as it is brilliant, on every work he plays, whisking even veteran repertoire warhorses into the here and now. In this concert Levit is accompanied by the Berliner Barock Solisten in music by two composers who can be described without exaggeration as pinnacles of music history: Johann Sebastian Bach and his son Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. The most famous of the Bach sons made a no less illustrious career for himself than his father, and was admired by fellow composers like Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn. In this cleverly thought-out programme, Levit and the Berlin ensemble create a father-son dialogue along entirely modern lines.

Albrecht Mayer Berliner Barock Solisten

Three generations of the Bach family are featured in a concert with Albrecht Mayer and the Berliner Barock Solisten. Festive Baroque music in historically informed performance practice meets the warm sound of Mayer's oboe. The program spans from Johann Sebastian Bach's great-uncle, Johann Christoph, to his sons, Carl Philipp Emanuel and Wilhelm Friedemann, framed by works of Johann Sebastian himself.

Weih­nacht­lich barock

The Essen Philharmonic's third chamber concert promises a festive program to get you in the mood for Christmas. Baroque masterpieces will be performed, including the two festive Christmas concertos by Italian composers Archangelo Corelli and Pietro Antonio Locatelli, who share a special bond: Locatelli was Corelli's student in Rome and was inspired by his teacher, particularly in his Concerti grossi op. 1. Vivaldi's Concerto grosso in D minor, composed around 1711, is also oriented towards Corelli's style and, together with the other eleven concertos of his Opus 3, brought Vivaldi international recognition for the first time. The instrumental program of the concert is interwoven with Christmas vocal pieces by Pietro A. Yon and Peter Cornelius, performed by mezzo-soprano Bettina Ranch, who is a member of the Aalto Theatre ensemble.
