Uplifting

I’ve heard several recordings of the Air from Bach’s Orchestral Suite No. 3, performed on panflute. I personally love the Air in all its guises.

For me, though, this recording of panflutist, Matthias Schlubeck, performing the Menuet and Badinerie from Bach’s Suite No. 2 in B minor is as uplifting as it gets. Enjoy!

Jesting

You may recall that one of my goals for “My Year of Bach” is simply to enjoy myself. On that note (pun intended!), I cannot help but share a unique performance of the Badinerie from Bach’s Suite No. 2 in B minor. Read more about the four orchestral suites or ouvertures here.

The original instrumentation, of course, is for solo transverse flute and strings. As you’ll see, these guys, Ariel Zuckermann and Eyal Ein-Habar have altered Bach’s instrumentation slightly.

Surely, Bach would approve. After all, Badinerie is French for “jesting.” Enjoy this unique rendition here!

My Year of Bach.

This is an experiment.
I love Bach: listening to Bach; playing Bach (alone or with others); discovering Bach; learning from Bach; sharing Bach.

I need Bach in my daily life.

So, for 2016, I'm challenging myself to write a short daily post about Bach. Come along for the ride, if you're so inclined. Let's listen, share and learn together!
