Janie really was on a Baroque kick at that time – we even booked a Monday evening concert on a working day. Janie had cunningly arranged to see Carita, our dental hygienist, around the corner in Cavendish Square, but then ended up having to move that appointment. Once again, in the end, I recall that Janie hot-footed it (if you can hot-foot in a car) to the Wig, after making a late client visit.
But it was worth it.
I had encouraged Janie to see Roy Goodman and The Brandenburg Consort, as her treasured recording of the Brandenburg Concertos is their 1992 recording – and jolly good it is too.
Anyway, this concert focussed more on CPE than JS Bach, and was mostly an opportunity for Rachel Brown to show off her flute skills, which she did with aplomb.
We heard:
- Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach – Flute Concerto in G Wq 169
- Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach – String Symphony in C Wq 182/3
- Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach – Flute Concerto in D minor Wq22
- Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach – String Symphony in G Wq 182/1
- Johann Sebastian Bach – Sinfonia from Cantata “Non sa che sia dolore” BWV 209
Below is a link to Rachel Brown performing some utterly delightful Quantz with Roy Goodman and his other lot – The Hanover Band.
Here is the JS Bach Sinfonia from BWV 209 which we heard at the end of the concert:
You’ll get the idea – the concert on 17 July 2000 was a feast for our ears – we metaphorically floated home.
