« Y aurait-il quelque part un mécène capable d’entendre notre appel ? » lit-on dans nos programmes de salle. Tel est sans doute le vœu originel qui sous-tendait ce concert de la Petite Bande à Gaveau...

Une soirée avec le Concert de l'Hostel Dieu à Saint Bonaventure de Lyon, c’est un véritable tableau vivant de la musique baroque. N’imaginerait-on pas ainsi l’Avent en Saxe, dans un sanctuaire médiéval, le maître de Leipzig à son clavecin, dirigeant une maîtrise dans l’une de ses cantates ?

Laurence Cummings and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment celebrate two anniversaries in a programmed of works by Johann Sebastian Bach and his sons. 

On ne peut que louer à l'Orchestre de la Suisse Romande en petit effectif la volonté d'ouvrir son répertoire au baroque. Malheureusement la réalité fut moins heureuse et a semblé un peu nous faire revenir des années en arrières point de vue du style, n’échappant pas à une certaine platitude.

Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra is no stranger when it comes to working with world-renowned soloists – their earlier collaborative roster includes the likes of Sviatoslav Richter, Menuhin, Rostropovich et al, but their rapport with Emmanuel Pahud is something that transcends musical partnership and wanders into the organically-knit companionship territory.

There's nothing like a Brandenburg to blow away Christmas cobwebs. Alongside contrasting cantatas, the Dunedin Consort offered the 3rd and 5th from Bach's 1721 set of six concerti grossi. This made for a compact and nicely balanced programme, contrasting the sacred with the secular and vocal with purely instrumental timbres.

Robert Spano conducted the Orchestra of St. Luke's and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chamber Chorus in an ambitious concert in Stern Auditorium at Carnegie Hall. The results were as mixed as the programming, which featured J.S. Bach's Brandenburg Concerto no. 3 and Magnificat, alongside Messiaen's Trois petites liturgies de la Présence Divine.

Bach's Brandenburg concerto No. 3 (BWV 1048) doesn't have a slow movement. In the place where you would normally expect to find one, what's written out is just two chords. And in most modern performances, those chords get a perfunctory embellishment, a quick bit of a cadenza, and on we go. That's the shape in which the piece now sits in the classical canon, so nobody expects more than that.
