In addition to his vast trove of sacred choral masterpieces, Bach wrote magnificent instrumental works ranging from his renowned Brandenburg concerti to his delightful orchestral suites, one of which, the Suite No. 2 featuring a solo flute, is being performed in this program. Also, Bach being a consummate organist and keyboardist, composed solo concerti for one, two, three and four keyboards with orchestra. The f minor is one of his finest. Like Bach's, Mozart's amazing legacy includes both vocal and instrumental masterpieces. Of his twenty-seven piano concerti, the No. 20 stands among Maestro's favorites, and his soul-stirring Violin Concerto No. 5 enchants the senses.
Running Time: 2 hours including one intermission.
