Singer

It is probably the best-known composition of Baroque music: the famous "Air" by Johann Sebastian Bach. As a slow movement, it is part of the Orchestral Suite No. 3, which Bach, like Suite No. 4, probably composed for the court music in Köthen. Bach evidently valued these compilations of festive overtures and dance movements so much that he traveled several times with copies of the suites in his luggage. Bach's only setting of the Latin Magnificat text originally dates from his first year as Thomaskantor. With this magnificent composition, Bach wanted to demonstrate his skills and impress the Leipzig audience - which he probably succeeded in doing. Vivaldi supposedly composed faster than his copyists could copy. One of his many Concerti con molti strumenti is the masterfully composed G minor Concerto RV 576. Julian Shevlin and Andrey Godik, two members of the Munich Philharmonic, take on the solo parts. This baroque program is directed by Andrea Marcon, a proven specialist in historical performance practice.
