Upon discovering the concerto, a genre born of Italian exuberance, it did not take Bach long to make it a cornerstone of his instrumental oeuvre. A nimble and virtuosic emblem of his genius, B’Rock Orchestra delivers a version faithful to the original spirit, with an ensemble tailor-made to follow the score’s sinuous contours.

The song of the violin is answered by that of the human voice, with another hallmark of Bach’s music, equally virtuosic: the cantatas. A concerto in condensed form, offering a five-part celebration of the work of one of our greatest geniuses.
