In this online premiere, enjoy one of the most recognized and popular works in baroque music, the Brandenburg Concertos, which encapsulate all of the qualities that affirm Bach’s brilliance as a composer.

Creativity, originality, and boldness are on display in these ground-breaking concertos that feature novel combinations of solo instruments and an unprecedented solo cadenza for harpsichord—unheard of at the time. 

Tafelmusik’s JUNO Award-winning 1995 recording of the Brandenburgs helped establish the orchestra’s international profile. A quarter century later, we invite you to revisit four of these seminal works with newfound curiosity.
