Three instruments, three emblematic works and three excellent soloists! With Sophie Gent (violin), Frank Theuns (flute) and Bertrand Cuiller (harpsichord) Les Muffatti reinterpret Bach's Triple Concerto, the Fifth Brandenburg Concerto and the Orchestral Suite in B minor. They offer a variety of orchestral textures that match the more solistic style of the Brandenburg Concerto and the alternating ripieno-tutti movements in the Triple Concerto and the Suite.
While the Fifth Brandenburg Concerto was composed during Bach's stay in Köthen and can be considered the very first piano concerto, the other two works date from his later years in Leipzig. In these works, Bach makes use of all the compositional possibilities he had acquired during his lifetime; the very individual combination of contrapuntal craftsmanship and heightened expressivity already points to the works composed in the final years of his life.
