Brandenburgs old and new

Hannah French explores a new set of Brandenburg Concertos, based on JS Bach's organ trios, which have been recently recorded by Concerto Copenhagen.

Hannah French talks to oboist and arranger Antoine Torunczyk, Co founder of Concerto Copenhagen Lars Henriksson, and flautist Katy Bircher about a new set of Brandenburg Concertos. How do you go about honouring the original set, harnessing Bach’s own creative licence, and conjuring more dynamic chamber music just as Bach may well have done for the players in his Collegium Musicum? Antoine, Lars, and Katy reveal the inspiration and inner workings of their project recently recorded with Concerto Copenhagen.
