Martin Feinstein’s annual Bach Weekend at Kings Place closes with a concert featuring some of Bach’s most thrilling orchestrations, including Magnificat, Cantata 46 ‘Schauet doch und sehet’, and his second Brandenburg concerto.
Bach’s sparkling setting of the Magnificat has long been one of his most loved works, with it’s blazing trumpets and timpani. The sublime Cantata 46 Schauet doch und sehet, written as part of Bach’s miraculous first cantata cycle in Leipzig, was the model for his Mass in B minor and is scored with extraordinary richness, using recorders, oboes da caccia and the extraordinary corno da tirarsi, the slide horn, an instrument unique to Bach and only used by him on three occasions.
Completing a programme of Bach’s most exciting instrumentations is his second Brandenburg Concerto, with it’s four soloists and featuring the virtuoso trumpet of David Blackadder.
This performance will last approximately 2 hours, including an interval.
