Jewels that Brightly Burn

Describing Bach’s students as ‘jewels that brightly burn’, Telemann championed Bach’s skill in arranging music to inspire a new generation of musicians as they performed ‘under the orange tree’ in Leipzig. This programme tells the story of Bach’s students as they became ‘jewels’ and includes arrangements of his joyous instrumental music alongside Telemann’s stunning ‘Paris’ quartets and suites by Pisendel.
