BACH Brandenburg Concerto No. 3
STRAUSS Metamorphosen
Dedicated to his royal patron, the Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt, Johann Sebastian Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 remains one of the most famous works of the Baroque period. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart composed the Divertimento in the winter of 1772 during some much-needed downtime in Salzburg, where he frequently performed in intimate settings for the city’s leading residents. Written in the closing months of the Second World War, Richard Strauss’ Metamorphosen is a work that evokes the emotional toll the war had on the landscape of Europe.
