Conductor

Two figures stand side by side on this poster: the sovereign figure of Bach, with the galvanizing energy of the Brandenburg Concertos, and the kaleidoscopic figure of Schubert, whose precious material is seized upon by Berio's imagination.

Philharmonie de Paris

Bach’s Brandenburg Concertos rank among the crowning achievements of the Baroque era. Richly expressive writing for strings and winds, virtuosic instrumental solos and rhythmic verve combine to form a cycle full of splendour and charm. Each concerto has its own distinctive scoring and character; together they reveal the remarkable stylistic range of the composer. Under the direction of Masato Suzuki, the legendary Bach Collegium Japan opens our Originalklang series with a performance of all six concertos in a single evening. Over the past decades, the ensemble has played a leading role in connecting European and Asian traditions of Baroque performance.
