SUMMARY:Bach Violin Concertos

Bach’s Violin Concertos do that\, and are a total treat; bright\, zesty\, and full of melodies that almost tumble over themselves to be heard – it’s like taking a shower the morning after a big night out\, you feel like a new person afterward! His orchestral suite is a different affair\, stately and grand\, unlike the spare beauty of his concertos\, and of course\, you may remember one of its movements as the signature music from a famous brand of cigar adverts from the 1980s… \nWe are family\nLike the Jacksons\, the Strauss’ and the Beach Boys\, Bach came from a family that wasn’t just good at music\, they pretty much were music. His father was an organist and two of his brothers were musicians too. Of his family\, JS might be the superstar\, but CPE (his son) Bach was the bad boy\, not afraid to challenge convention. JCF Bach (another son) was a virtuoso on the keyboard and also a composer and JC Bach (yet another son) became a composer for London’s West End. If you’re thinking that Bach seemed to have quite a few kids you’d be right – he had 20! \nBach for more?\nThat’s the last of our Bach puns\, promise. Anyway\, if you love his music\, check out our concert on 4 October when we’re playing his Brandenburg Concerto No.5. \nhttps://youtu.be/2Zhr3uv6o1o \nBach Violin Concertos with Maria Włoszczowska | Live from The Glasshouse: Royal Northern Sinfonia \n
