About this concert
Conductor - Johannes Fritzsch
Piano - David Fray
J.S. Bach - Keyboard Concerto No.5, BWV 1056
J.S. Bach - Keyboard Concerto No.4, BWV 1055
Bruckner - Symphony No.9
Bruckner never finished his last symphony. It consists of a massive opening statement, a shocking blast of demonic fast music, and then a slow movement which is a timeless meditation on eternity. Yet this titanic structure somehow does not have the feel of a fragment; it is entire in itself.
This sublime music is perfectly twinned with J.S. Bach, a composer touched by the divine but also a composer of ineffable humanity. The lithe French pianist David Fray, a Bach authority, unveils music that’s the perfect blend of the playful and the profound.
Notes Fund - Music for this concert has been supported by Anne Hargreaves and Mathew Mercuri
