The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires

JS Bach | Brandenburg Concerto No. 3
JS Bach | Concerto for Two Violins
Piazzolla | The Four Seasons of Buenos Aires

Sophie Rosa | violin/director
Peter Liang | violin

The finale of this concert at Nottingham’s Royal Concert Hall is a brilliantly imaginative response to Vivaldi’s Four Seasons from Argentina’s king of tango nuevo, Astor Piazzolla.

Part of a set of six concertos presented by Bach to the Margrave of Brandenburg-Schwedt in 1721, The Third Brandenburg Concerto achieved widespread popularity and later became known to millions through its use as the theme tune for the BBC’s Antiques Roadshow for many years. Equally admired, his Concerto for Two Violins, weaves expressive lines between the two soloists in a captivating dialogue with the orchestra.

Our leader, Sophie Rosa, directs the concert.
