The Glories of Bach by Bach, J. S., De (2022/2022), Director musical Jonathan Cohen, Boston Symphony Hall, Boston, United States

Our season opener captures the sizzle that listeners first experienced in Leipzig’s famous Zimmermann’s Coffee House, where Bach himself led these marvelous suites, which H+H will perform on the period instruments Bach wrote for. No. 3 includes the sublime Air on the G String, and both suites feature dances that are, by turn, ebullient, elegant, and festive. The celebration also includes one of Bach’s most jubilant motets and radiant masses.
