Bach's Orchestral Suites No 3 and No 1 from the Queen's Hall, Edinburgh.

The Dunedin Consort, along with their music director and harpsichordist John Butt, perform Bach's Orchestral Suites No 3 and No 1 at the Queen's Hall, Edinburgh.

The Edinburgh-based Dunedin Consort, along with their music director and harpsichordist John Butt, were winners of the 2021 Royal Philharmonic Society Ensemble Award and are firmly established as favourites with the Edinburgh International Festival audience.
Following on from their recent recording of Bach's Orchestral Suites, which BBC Music Magazine described as containing "toweringly authoritative performances", the Dunedin Consort bring their passion and expertise for these masterpieces to the Queen's Hall. These French-style suites are inspired by a wide range of dances and from Suite No 3’s wonderful ‘Air’ to Suite No 1’s exuberant ‘Forlane’, they contain some of Bach’s most addictive and magical music.
