Preußens Hofmusik II

For two decades, Prussia's Hofmusik, the chamber orchestra series of the Staatskapelle Berlin, has focused on music from the 17th and 18th centuries, particularly composers and works associated with the history of the Staatsoper and Staatskapelle. In its anniversary season, the ensemble spotlights Johann Sebastian Bach, revered by King Frederick II of Prussia, whose sons were active in Berlin, and whose influential renaissance originated there. The program features inspired secular and sacred cantatas by Bach, along with renowned instrumental music.
