Complete Bach
At the height of his powers Bach composed a series of compositions and collections that would become his musical testament. Hundreds of years later, works such as the Mass in B minor continue to dazzle, and Bach's published keyboard music has inspired every subsequent generation. This 11th Bach Academy Bruges is focussed on completeness: the complete Well-Tempered Clavier, performed by four young harpsichordists; all six of Bach’s motets, performed by the English ensemble Solomon’s Knot; Reinoud Van Mechelen singing the most beautiful tenor arias … Regular festival guest Philippe Herreweghe and his Collegium Vocale Gent underline the message: Bruges is completely Bach!
