Royal Conservatoire of Scotland – Cantatas & Concertos

Dunedin Consort side-by-side with players from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland

Imagine sitting in the Thomaskirche on Sunday morning in Leipzig, four years into Bach’s tenure as musical director. By now you’re used to some extraordinary music from the great man, but BWV 169 is something else. Not only does it begin with what can only be described as an organ concerto but then it uses just one alto voice to praise God alone. Telemann and Graupner both revel in gorgeous combination of flute and oboe d’amore before a final Bach cantata draws all these threads together with a blockbuster organ sinfonia and stunning writing for flute and three oboes.

Pre-concert talk with John Butt at 6.30pm.
