Clear Contrast In Music Of Two Bachs At Albert Hall

The Berlin Chamber Orchestra directed by Hans von Benda performed eighteenth century works at Albert Hall. The program featured Bach’s ricercar, a Mozart horn concerto, and a Mandel suite, with Haydn and Mozart pieces highlighting Baroque and Classical contrasts. The performance balanced strong passages with instrument balance, though violins struggled to match the richness of the strings. Obbligato oboes and a refined oboe solo by Ralf Julius Koch stood out. The concert aimed to illustrate the revolution in eighteenth century music through father son contrasts and baroque interpretation. The musicians faced tuning and balance challenges, but overall offered a sound and engaging program.
