CBSO - Bach-Inspired Music

BBC Radio 3 - Performance on 3, CBSO - Bach-Inspired Music

The CBSO and Andris Nelsons perform music inspired by Bach. With Berg, Part and Brahms.

The CBSO under Andris Nelsons perform music inspired by Bach. Berg: Violin Concerto, with Isabelle van Keulen (violin). Part: Concerto Piccolo on B-A-C-H. Brahms: Symphony No 4.

Ian Skelly presents a concert in which the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra under music director Andris Nelson explore some the ways in which composers throughout the centuries have taken Bach's music as a starting point for their own. 

The programme opens with an Elgar arrangement of Bach's Fantasia and Fugue in C minor, followed by Berg's highly expressive Violin Concerto, a work dedicated 'to the memory of an angel', referring to Alma Mahler's daughter, who died tragically young, and also quoting from a Bach chorale at its emotional climax.

Brahms, a composer always in awe of the great masters who preceded him, turns to Bach in the finale of his Fourth Symphony which is a passacaglia based on music from the cantata Nach dir, Herr, verlanget mich. And contemporary Estonian composer Arvo Part incorporates the great man's name into his trumpet concerto by using the musical letters of Bach's name in the notes of one of its themes.

Suzannah Lipscomb on what happened to make the public see Henry as a tyrant.

Suzannah Lipscomb, research curator at Hampton Court Palace, explains why the year 1536 was pivotal in Henry's transformation in the public eye from a benign ruler to a tyrant.

Suzannah Lipscomb, Research Curator at Hampton Court Palace, focuses on one pivotal year in Henry's life - 1536. It was a year of betrayal and injury, from a serious wound in a joust which influenced his health for the rest of his life, to the execution of Anne Boleyn for adultery, following her miscarriage and the death of the longed for male heir. Henry ended the year a different and more dangerous man than he had begun it.
