Intimate Bach

20110604

Lucie Skeaping meets the gamba player Hille Perl, theorbo player Lee Santana and harpsichordist Patrick Ayrton for highlights from a concert of 'Intimate Bach' from the 2011 Lufthansa Festival of Baroque Music.

It is widely believed that JS Bach composed six sonatas for the viola da gamba, although only three of them still exist. Bach often recycled his work so that the same music appears arranged for different instruments. Hille Perl wondered whether the three 'missing' gamba sonatas might be found elsewhere in Bach's output, as arrangements. This set her on a quest to discover potential 'new' music for gamba by Bach, and in this concert from St John's Smith Square in London, we hear official music for gamba, alongside other items by JS Bach, and the opportunity to hear what could be a restoration of sonatas for viola da gamba by Bach.

The Formidable Virtuosi

Lucie Skeaping presents highlights of a concert given by violinist Enrico Gatti and keyboard player Fabio Ciofini, recorded at this year's Lufthansa Festival of Baroque Music. The Festival's theme explores music in Europe from the Hanseatic north to the Adriatic south; the repertoire in this programme reflects that theme and includes virtuoso violin and keyboard compositions by composers such as Johann Schop and Pandolfo Mealli.

In the second of this weekend's highlights of concert recordings from the 2011 Lufthansa Festival of Baroque Music, Lucie Skeaping presents music performed by countertenor Robin Blaze with lutenist Elizabeth Kenny's group, the Theatre of the Ayre.

From Bohemia's Courts And Chapels

20110605

Lucie Skeaping introduces 18th Century Bohemian music by Brentner and Zelenka recorded at this year's Lufthansa Festival from Ensemble Inegal.

Czech musicians could be found in abundance throughout Europe in the 18th Century and in this concert the Czech based group, Ensemble Inegal directed by Adam Viktoria, pay tribute to their historical musical past with a selection of music by two of its finest 18th century composers - Jan Dismas Zelenka and Johann Joseph Ignaz Brentner, as well as featuring music by a major contemporary figure of their day, Johann Sebastian Bach.
