Leonidas Kavakos & the Apollon Ensemble play Bach

Synopsis

In midst of the ruins of the Ancient Ecclesiastical Hall, accompanied by the rhythmic chirping of cicadas, Leonidas Kavakos and his Apollon Ensemble perform Bach. The atmosphere is electric, and the music is divinely beautiful. Night falls as the virtuosic Kavakos leads the musicians through the three Bach violin concertos “creating a fascinating dialogue between the ancient Greek aesthetic and the harmony and rhythm of classical music” (AMNA:Athens). And indeed, the timeless sounds of Bach seem to be at home in Ancient Messene. PROGRAM: Bach – Violin Concerto in A minor, BWV 1041; Violin Concerto in E major, BWV 1042; Violin Concerto in G minor (reconstruction from the Cembalo Concerto), BWV 1056; Violin Concerto in D minor (reconstruction from the Cembalo Concerto), BWV 1052
