Jean-Sébastien Bach est l'un des compositeurs les plus mystérieux de l'histoire de la musique. Comment une oeuvre aussi sublime a-t-elle pu jaillir d'un homme si ordinaire et si opaque ? John Eliot Gardiner a grandi sous le regard d'un des deux portraits authentiques de Bach, conservé dans la maison de ses parents où il avait été caché pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. C'est depuis l'enfance qu'…

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach would almost certainly have approved of this arrangement of his organ work (BWV 582) for string quartet by John Cooley, as it conveniently has four contrapuntal parts, and he was well known for making arrangements of his own works, according to instrumental resources at his disposal. Moreover, the parts mostly fit well within the ranges of violin, viola and cello, a…

Bach composed his oratorio for the Feast of the Ascension in Leipzig in 1735. Though this work has the duration of a cantata, the choice of text places it among the oratorios. It combines the biblical account of the Ascension with chorales and free madrigal poems.As in other works which were composed during this same year (e.g. the 'Christmas Oratorio?), Bach reveals a special fondness for colourf…

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Dans toutes les œuvres cycliques de Bach, on voit des preuves de Bach en tant que pédagogue; même sa musique la plus sublime est fondamentalement didactique par nature. Dans les Sonates et Partitas, il y a une arche globale entre tous les mouvements. Le tout premier geste dans l'Adagio en sol mineur, avec son accord ample, est en quelque sorte l'accord signature du violo…

Like the Ascension Oratorio BWV 11, Johann Sebastian Bach’s Easter Oratorio BWV 249 is entirely and unjustly overshadowed by his t…

Hercules at the crossroads (Dramma per musica) - BWV 213. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. What does Bach’s “Christmas Oratorio¨ have to do with Hercules? More than you might think at first glance.
