The season opens with the largest and brassiest of Bach's glorious Brandenburgs (nos. 1 and 2), as well as the most bubbly (no. 5). From the daredevil trumpet solo, to boisterous horns and oboes, to a dizzying harpsichord solo—it’s an evening of rampant virtuosity!

LISTEN to AF's much praised CD recording
of the Brandenburgs.

baroque trumpet

Jeannette Sorrell harpsichord

“A swaggering version, exhilarating....The harpsichord solo is brilliantly played by Sorrell.”
— THE TIMES, LONDON

“Sorrell delivers a brilliant take-no-captives rendition of the big solo in No. 5. In all, these performances are lively and unfailingly attractive—the best in what historical performance can be.... an impressive treasure.”
—AMERICAN RECORD GUIDE
