Les Arts Florissants
La Grande Audition de Leipzig
Bach, Graupner, Kuhnau and Telemann
‘No praise could be too high for the precision and beauty of this ensemble’s performance,’ proclaimed The i Paper following one of Les Arts Florissants' recent visits to London. For this concert, the group delves into the musical universe of the time of Bach’s application to become the Kantor at the Thomaskirche in Leipzig, in 1723. Imagining a ‘grand audition’ to decide between Bach and his contemporaries, this concert offers some of the finest music from Germany at the beginning of the 18th century.
Early Music at Wigmore Hall
