"HOF-COMPOSITEUR" BACH

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was a court musician for a full 15 years of his professional career: first of all as organist and concertmaster in Weimar (from 1708), then as kapellmeister in Köthen (1717-1723), municipal music director in Leipzig, kapellmeister to the Duke of Weißenfels 1729, and from 1736 court composer to the electors of Saxony Dresden.
In short: the appeal of the works of Bach, court composer, lies in their extreme diversity of form and genre.
The Bachfestival 2019 will be aiming to bring out the "courtly" side of Bach's oeuvre - in four series devoted to his works in Weimar, Köthen, Dresden and Berlin.

"We know very little abaout Bach's life. There are only a few facts to go on and our image of him is skewed by statues and paintings of a stern forbidding figure in a frock coat and a powered wig.
And then there is the music.
Bach is still the benchmark, a musical gold standard, the ultimate composer's composor, influencing countless others from Mozart to Mendelssohn, Beethoven to Brahms, etc..."

from youtube, Sir J. E. Gardiner, A passionate life for Bach

Bach's classic with the Thomanerchor* and the Gewandhausorchestra, performing at his origin church St.Thomas,where the Thomas cantor J.S.Bach performed it as his premiere 1733/34
