The background

Brandenburg Concertos

Bach applied for a new job with his six ‘Brandenburg’ concertos.

“

Spectacle of forms and timbres“

In March 1721, Bach sent the ‘six concertos for various instruments’, which we know by their epithet ‘Brandenburg’, to Christian Ludwig, the Margrave of Brandenburg, by way of an open job application. What an amazing calling card! Bach’s achievement here borders on the incredible. He explores the potential of the orchestral instruments, both solo and in combination, in numerous ways. Each of the six concertos is different in its instrumentation, length, structure, style and technique, resulting in a spectacle of forms and timbres that makes every performance exciting. And the equally virtuoso oboe concerto, BWV 1059r, has a main role for our oboist Rodrigo Lopez Paz.
