Bach - Adagio from Brandenburg Concerto no. 1 in F major BWV 1046 - Sato | Netherlands Bach Society

In the Adagio from the First ’Brandenburg’ concerto - performed here for All of Bach with Shunske Sato and Emma Black - the violin and oboe dance together. The instruments exchange the dramatic melody in a composition in which they are equally important. The democratic character of the Adagio is characteristic of all the ’Brandenburg’ concertos: in these ’six concertos for various instruments’, Bach explores the potential of the orchestral instruments, both solo and in combination, in numerous ways. For the interview with musicians on ’Brandenburg’ concertos go to Recorded for the project All of Bach on 2 October 2018 at TivoliVredenburg, Utrecht.
