Lunchtime concert for J.S. Bach's 339th birthday: The Essential Fringes of Bach The Highlands Duo: Ben Shute (baroque violin), Anastasia Abu Bakar (harpsichord) - £5, FREE to Music Centre members
Ben Shute and Anastasia Abu Bakar present a programme blurring both the authorship and genres of established Bach works. The famous Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 for organ is heard in a transcription for solo violin alongside an adaptation for harpsichord, by Bach, of a sonata by Johann Adam Reincken. The concert ends with another organ work: the Trio Sonata no. 1, BWV 525, is played as a literal trio with the upper voices performed by the violin and the harpsichordist's right hand.
