Bach and Forth - The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center December 5, 2010

In a fascinating program unlike any heard before at CMS, the brilliant pianist Stephen Prutsman connects and juxtaposes timeless music of J.S. Bach with works of virtually every style since his day.

This concert is part of the CMS Baroque Festival. Beyond all the pomp and circumstance of the Baroque period, the music of this era embodies emotion and expressivity rarely equaled before or since. From the introspective opening of Telemann's Concerto for Violin, to the unbridled joy of Bach's Sixth Brandenburg Concerto, the Baroque Festival offers boundless variety of interpretation from a dazzling cast of musicians.
