The Brandenburg Concertos

22 Nov 2024 | 19:00 | Sheldonian Theatre, Broad Street

Desperate to find a new job in 1721, Bach wrote a set of instrumental concertos and sent them off to the Margrave of Brandenburg in the hope of getting an offer. Had the Margrave so much as glanced at the score for Six Concertos With Several Instruments Bach had sent him, he might have sensed that the composer had delivered something superlative – the high-point of the composer’s project to expand the language of ensemble instrumental music and to assimilate varied European styles into his own, bettering them in the process. Charismatic harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani is our guide through the delectable smorgasbord that is Bach’s Brandenburgs.
