Concertos de Brandeburgo: Orquestra Barocca Zefiro
Sevilha, Teatro de la Maestranza — Sala Principal
Sobre o Evento
Experimente as melodias encantadoras dos Concertos de Brandenburgo de Johann Sebastian Bach no Teatro de la Maestranza em Sevilha. Estas obras‐primas, apresentadas ao Marquês de Brandemburgo‐Schwedt em 1721, tornaram‐se desde então uma das colecções mais apreciadas da música barroca. Composta para um conjunto diversificado de instrumentos, Bach ultrapassou os limites da música orquestral, mostrando o virtuosismo dos músicos da época.
Músicos como Philip Pickett aprofundaram os significados mais profundos destes concertos, sugerindo elementos simbólicos e alegóricos que elevam a música a um grande quadro. Ao elogiar o Marquês como uma figura heróica, Bach recorda‐lhe simultaneamente a natureza transitória da glória e as realidades mundanas da vida. Os concertos funcionam como uma poderosa vanitas, incitando à reflexão sobre a impermanência da existência.
A Orquestra Barroca do Zefiro é dirigida pelo famoso oboísta Alfredo Bernardini. Este grupo excecional, nascido do movimento Historically Informed Performance nos anos 80, apresenta Bernardini, Paolo (oboé) e Alberto Grazz (fagote) como excelentes intérpretes da música barroca. Com um enfoque nos instrumentos de sopro, Zefiro tem recebido aclamação internacional e numerosos prémios pelas suas gravações de repertório do século XVIII. Bernardini, ele próprio um aclamado oboísta barroco, está ativamente envolvido em festivais de prestígio e colabora com conjuntos conceituados como a Orquestra Barroca de Sevilha (Orquesta Barroca de Sevilla).

Johann Sebastian Bach
The name Bach and the word musician had long been synonyms in Germany as the world saw 56 musicians from this kin. But it was Johann Sebastian Bach, a genius composer and virtuoso organ player, who shed lustre on his family name. He was born on th 31st of March 1685 in Eisenach, a small town in Thuringia. At the age of 10 he became an orphan and was brought up by his elder brother Johann Christoph, who was an organist in a neighbouring town. His brother was the one to teach music to the young Johann Sebastian. Later he moved to Luneburg where he attended a church school and mastered the techniques of playing violin, viola, piano and organ by the age of 17. Besides that, Bach was a choir singer and later after his voice broke he became a chanter’s assistant. In 1703 Bach was hired as a court musician in the chapel of Duke Johann Ernst III. He earned such a good reputation there that he was later invited to Arnstadt to be an organist at the New Church, where he wrote his best organ works. In 1723 he moved to Leipzig to be a chantor at St. Thomas Church where he stayed until his death of a stroke in 1750. In the year of his death he had undergone unsuccessful eye surgery which lead him to lose his eyesight. During that strenuous time his second wife Anna Magdalena helped him to write his last musical pieces. Bach’s artistic legacy is vast. He created compositions in all genres of the time: oratorias, cantatas, masses, motets, music for organ, piano and violin.
