| West Road Concert Hall, Cambridge, Cambridge CB3 9DP, United Kingdom Thursday 23-Sep-10 07:30pm JS Bach's forebears The first concert of the AAM’s The Bach Dynasty series focuses on the music of Heinrich Bach and his sons. Johann Christoph and his brother, Johann Michael, Johann Sebastian’s father-in-law, were two of the most illustrious Bachs of the previous generation. Both had learnt their art from their father, Heinrich, who was described in his funeral eulogy as an “organist who touched the heart... a musician famous for his art”. | ||

The Burgundian Court was at the centre of European culture, and Philip took his chapel choir and a host of his finest singer-composers. The Orlando Consort will sing a wonderful array of the music performed by both courts at this epic five-month summit. And what lovely music it is – rich, subtle and mellifluous, with piquant dissonances. Josquin Desprez, one of the greatest composers, declined to join the party, but the programme includes two of his pieces – partly for comparison, and partly because he’s too good to leave out. The Orlando Consort is the perfect ensemble for this music – one of Britain’s most important vocal groups, performing to the highest standards and renowned for imaginative and innovative programming. They work with leading academics, often on music that has never been performed in modern times, setting new standards of performance – particularly for the pronunciation and tuning of this fascinating repertoire. This is their third appearance at Little Missenden. “The sheer skill of the Orlando Consort leaves one speechless: everything is immaculately tuned, balanced and phrased; absolutely nothing seems to impede the flow of the music” (Gramophone) “Moving and luminous” (New York Times) “The Orlando Consort’s performances are staggeringly beautiful” (The Times) Anchieta, Juan de (1462-1523), O bone Jesu | ||
