It is probably the best-known composition in Baroque music: the famous "Air" by Johann Sebastian Bach. As a slow movement, it is part of Orchestral Suite No. 3, which Bach, like Suite No. 4, probably composed for the court music in Köthen. Apparently Bach appreciated these compilations of festive overtures and dance movements so much that he traveled several times with copies of the suites in his luggage. Bach's only setting of the Latin Magnificat text originally dates from his first year as cantor at St. Thomas. Bach wanted to demonstrate his skills with this magnificent composition and impress the Leipzig audience - which he probably succeeded in doing. Vivaldi allegedly composed faster than his copyists could copy. One of his many concerti con molti strumenti is the masterfully composed Concerto in G minor RV 576, in which Julian Shevlin and Andrey Godik, two members of the Munich Philharmonic, take on the solo parts. Andrea Marcon, a proven specialist in historical performance practice, will conduct this baroque program.
