Like rays of sunlight, delicate yet powerful, the sounds of this program pierce time and open our eyes to an exciting era of musical upheaval. The focus of this programme lies on masterful chamber music works for oboe, cello, and harpsichord from early Enlightenment Germany—composed by J. S. Bach, S. L. Weiss, and G. B. Platti.
Each composer uniquely combines the emotional depth and technical complexity of the Baroque with the first impulses of the galant style; a reflection of their personal lives and a foreshadowing of the great changes that the 18th century would bring.
Chamber music setting: Oboe | Cello | Harpsichord (Organ)
