Loris Barrucand & Clément Geoffroy - Bach sous les tilleuls (2024) [Official Digital Download 24/96]

Entering the Café Zimmermann in Leipzig in the 1730s, it was not uncommon to be able to attend concerts organized by the famous Johann Sebastian Bach surrounded by his sons and friends. On the menu: coffee, liqueurs and pastries, sonatas and concerti! During the summer, escaping the heat, amateurs and virtuosos gathered in the gardens of the Porte de Grimma to enjoy the mildness of the evening. By offering new transcriptions for two harpsichords of concertos by Bach and Vivaldi, Loris Barrucand and Clément Geoffroy invite us to renew our view of this music which is by turns scholarly and flamboyant. Under the lime trees of Leipzig, a cup of coffee in hand, the great Bach awaits you!

It was precisely during this period that Johann Sebastian Bach composed his harpsichord concertos, three of which were for two harpsichords, two for three harpsichords and one for four harpsichords, a sign that the enthusiasm for this instrument must have been extraordinary! All these works are very atypical for the time, even unique of their kind. We can think that they made a strong impression on their listeners as well as their performers since all of Bach's sons, and some of his students, subsequently composed for two harpsichords, making this musical dynasty the most prolific in history. matter.
