Work: Keyboard Concerto no. 2 in E major, BWV1053

On their farewell Asian tour, András Schiff and his group Cappella Andrea Barca offer a programme of Bach's keyboard concertos performed in the spirit and style of chamber music.

In a rare appearance outside London in the UK, world-renowned Russian violinist Viktoria Mullova, harpsichordist Ottavio Dantone and the Italian ensemble Accademia Bizantina took to the stage at St George’s Bristol to perform four Baroque concertos by J.S. Bach.

Baroque music is pretty old, isn’t it? But the great thing is, you don’t have to have the advanced years of a Brandenburg Concerto to put it on. The Oxford Philomusica has been active for little more than a decade – and they rushed through the pouring rain to play at the similarly young St George’s Bristol.
