About the Programme


Program:

• J. S. Bach: Suit in B Minor
• Mozart: Sinfonia concertante K.364
• J. S. Bach: Double Concerto in D minor
• Bartók: Divertimento

Because of their French-like opening movements, J. S. Bach’s four orchestral suites got the title Ouverture. The second opus of this genre is the Suite in B minor (BWV 1067) with an attractive solo flute piece,; its closing is the worthily popular Badinerie.

In W. A. Mozart’s Sinfonia concertante (K. 364) one could discover o typical baroque concerto grosso in a classical frame. The joyous, sweeping “corner movements” frame Mozart’s one of the most deeply meditative slow movement. It presents true "crossover" music of its age.

In J. S. Bach’s Double Concerto in D minor – as in a concerto-type composition – the fashion of age and the composers actually personal interest mated. At the premiere, serious forces were activated, compared to the that time: an 18-person-orchestra succeeded with the work, for Bach unusually rich in themes.
Also the Baroque concerto genre revolves around Béla Bartók's Divertimento. The work, ordered for the Basel Chamber Orchestra evokes the rich animation of the Baroque music, coupled with the 18th century’s musical entertainment atmosphere. The slow movement is Bartók’s personal "night-music".
