In order to (re-)discover the special qualities that can inspire us today, in 2001 Thomas Dausgaard and the Swedish Chamber Orchestra decided to contact six contemporary composer, asking each of them to compose a companion piece to one of the concertos. Seventeen years later, in 2018, it was time to present the result, with a performance at the BBC Proms of all the works \\x96 new and old. Recorded over a period of 18 months leading up to this event, the present boxed set provides a unique opportunity to experience six very different musical minds and idioms entering into conversation with Bach: Mark-Anthony Turnage, Steven Mackey, Anders Hillborg, Olga Neuwirth, Uri Caine and Brett Dean. Bach\\x92s concertos are remarkable in that they are all scored for different instrumental combinations, and part of the brief to the group of composers was to reflect this. In her Aello, Olga Neuwirth has for instance used several \\x91instruments\\x92 to stand in for Bach\\x92s harpsichord, including a synthesizer, a milk frother and a typewriter. Brett Dean, on the other hand, has stayed very close to Bach\\x92s instrumentation, but has chosen to write his work as a preparation for Brandenburg Concerto No. 6 \\x96 an Approach to Bach\\x92s extremely tight canonic writing. In performing the twelve works the orchestra and Dausgaard are joined by leading soloists including Clare Chase, Mahan Esfahani, H\\xe5kan Hardenberger, Pekka Kuusisto and Tabea Zimmermann.Brandenburg Concerto No. 1 In F Major, BWV 1046\u003cbr\u003eMaya (2016)\u003cbr\u003eBrandenburg Concerto No. 2 In F Major, BWV 1047\u003cbr\u003eTriceros (2015)\u003cbr\u003eBrandenburg Concerto No. 3 In G Major, BWV 1048\u003cbr\u003eBach Materia (2017)\u003cbr\u003eBrandenburg Concerto No. 4 In G Major, BWV 1049\u003cbr\u003eAello - Ballet M\\xe9canomorphe (2016-17, In Memoriam Heinrich Schiff)\u003cbr\u003eBrandenburg Concerto No. 5 In D Major, BWV 1050\u003cbr\u003eHamsa (2015)\u003cbr\u003eApproach - Prelude To A Canon (2017)\u003cbr\u003eBrandenburg Concerto No. 6 In B Flat Major, BWV 1051","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55130919633281,"sku":"1253360","price":40.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/51YJnTHTunL._SL1500.jpg?v=1766924851","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1253360","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
