At the invitation of the Berliner Philharmoniker

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.
