Bach’s Antidote

Movement III of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No. 5, knits together the built-in reassurance of fugue and ternary form with Bach’s ultimate optimism.

Host George Marriner Maull will explore with the radio audience how Bach’s choice of solo timbres for this work – flute, violin and harpsichord – as well as the bouncy quality of his fugue subject make for a sunny day for listeners.
