| Australian
Brandenburg Orchestra |
Bunbury |
Sunday 6 August |
(08) 9791 1133 |

“Bach’s Brandenburg concertos are the
supreme jewels of the baroque music, inspiring me to name the Australian
Brandenburg Orchestra in their honour”, says Paul Dyer, Artistic Director.
“Audiences will be able to hear for themselves why Bach is revered as one of the
greatest, most imaginative and most innovative composers of all time.” This program
showcases Bach’s very unusual groupings of instruments and the exquisite musical
dialogues that take place between the players. All musicians on stage have a
chance to shine and the audience also gets to hear more rarely used instruments
such as the viola da gamba and the violino piccolo.
Concerto No 6:
a rich, sumptuous piece utilising only low strings, brilliantly woven into
velvet textures, restless canons, extended passages of incredible virtuosity and
finally, a spirited dance.
Concerto No 5:
the first harpsichord concerto, featuring fiendishly difficult, whirlwind
passages of cascading sound and gorgeous flute and violin melodies. This is a
rare chance to hear Paul Dyer play solo harpsichord.
Concerto No 3:
a dazzling dance for strings that brims with exhilaration and zest for life;
alive with a rush of sounds and textures.
Concerto No 1:
a grand finale rich in tonal colours; the brashness of hunting horns, exquisite
solo passages for violin and oboe which leap from the stage, culminating in a
jubilant, euphoric third movement.
Do come and enjoy
these wonderful pieces. It will be a very special concert and a great occasion
in the history of Brandenburg music making.
