Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra | Ton Koopman

With Ton Koopman, Bach is in capable hands: the Dutch conductor and harpsichordist is considered an authority on historical Bach performance practice. When he and his Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra strike up the Brandenburgischen Konzerte, it becomes clear what lively music-making means.

»For me, Bach is the most brilliant composer in the history of music!« says Ton Koopman. »What moves me about Bach is the enormous balance between emotion and intellect – his music goes straight to the heart. A day without Bach is unimaginable for me!« Bach's Brandenburg Concertos are considered the epitome of the Baroque concerto. Ton Koopman and his Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra's joyful interpretation gives us an idea of what Bach's music might have sounded like in his day.
