Works by Bach and Haydn: an introduction by Ton Koopman Ton Koopman conducts Bach
Ton Koopman – one of the great interpreters of Early Music – admires Johann Sebastian Bach more than any other composer because in his music, “mind and emotion are in a fantastic balance”. And so Bach – in addition to Haydn’s Symphony No. 98 – is also the focus of this concert. We hear courtly splendour in the Orchestral Suite No. 3 and the glories of Baroque vocal music in his Magnificat and the motet “Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden”.
