Bach for Two Harpsichords

Probably played by Bach and his sons in the friendly surroundings of the Café Zimmermann, the concerti for two harpsichords are both jubilant and learned works. Johann Sebastian Bach’s music is a testament to a fundamental synthesis in the Baroque period: Germanic tradition influenced by Italian and French tastes, hence the addition of works by Lully and d’Anglebert to this programme. Olivier Fortin shares the keyboards with the brilliant young harpsichordist Emmanuel Frankenberg, winner of the Rabo-Burgemeester de Bruin prize awarded to him in October 2017.
