En direct, Vidéo: Rechercher des critiques de musique classique, opéra et ballet | Symphonie en sol mineur, Op.6 no. 6

Une promenade musicale mettant en lumière les filiations musicales d'une grande dynastie de musiciens, entre héritage et modernité, école allemande et italienne, baroque et prémices du Romantisme.

An evening at the Wigmore Hall with the fabulous Freiburg Baroque Orchestra and fortepiano star Kristian Bezuidenhout in the keyboard concertos of CPE Bach and Mozart. What could go wrong? 

The conductorless  Orpheus Chamber Orchestra and violinist Pinchas Zuckerman, however, presented an evening of music loosely connected across several centuries, effectively pressing shuffle on the classical music jukebox.  

Those happy to brand the British Isles as the "land without music" for the time between Purcell and Britten might have cause to rethink if they audited the vintage of London of the late 1760s. Johann Christian Bach, the youngest of Johann Sebastian's sons, moved to England in 1765, helped along by the expatriated Carl Friedrich Abel, with whom he shared a house on Meard Street in Soho.
