Bach is the beginning and the end of all music. This truth proves itself again and again - even in this chamber fibrillation in an industrial atmosphere. The range extends from the unfathomable dimensions of his "Musical Offering" to virtuoso concert music for the rare oboe d'amore and the intimate sphere of his duo sonatas, to instrumentally arranged arias from the "St. Matthew Passion" and the magnificent court music of the 5th Brandenburg Concerto. The inexhaustible cosmos of Bach's music will fill the former factory hall of the Naxos Union and open up space and senses for a special experience.

Bach is the beginning and the end of all music. This truth is constantly reaffirmed – even in this intimate, industrial setting. From the unfathomable dimensions of his "Musical Offering" to virtuosic concert music for the rare oboe d'amore and the intimate sphere of his duo sonatas, the program spans to instrumentally arranged arias from the "St. Matthew Passion" and the magnificent court music of the Fifth Brandenburg Concerto. The inexhaustible cosmos of Bach's music will fill the former factory hall of the Naxos Union, opening space and senses to a unique experience.

Bach's Cosmos

Schloss Birstein

Bach is the beginning and the end of all music, Max Reger once said. And this truth proves itself again and again - also in this chamber concert by the hr-Sinfonieorchester as part of the Wettenberg Winter Concerts. It is filled with the inexhaustible cosmos of Bach's "Musical Offering", his duo sonatas and concertos. You simply cannot miss it. The musicians of the hr-Sinfonieorchester Frankfurt, with guest harpsichordist Flóra Fábri, also present a concerto for the rare oboe d'amore and the 5th of the famous "Brandenburg Concertos".
