Johann Sebastian Bach
The name of Johann Sebastian Bach is somehow automatically associated with the vision of something above average, breathtaking, timeless, genius. He presented his sense of timelessness and visionary-ness in several titles and in six Brandenburg concerts. In these works, Bach began to work intensively with the sound of the orchestra, and in the fifth of them he even freed the harpsichord in a colossal cadence, otherwise a slavish bearer of the basso continuo principle.
Alongside the Slovak Chamber Orchestra, Budapest-born flautist Katalin Stefula, who is also actively involved in musical events in Slovakia as a judge of the Flautiáda competition, will perform.
Works from this programme also exist on record. These are different recordings — the performers and the year usually differ.
