Lucie Horsch & Orkest van de achttiende eeuw / J.S. Bach, Vivaldi E.A. / De Oosterpoort

Lucie Horsch is not only a phenomenal recorder player but also a great singer, something she already demonstrated when she was a guest in our Dutch Delight series in December 2022. Together with the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century she will present a special program with works by J.S. Bach and Vivaldi and a brand new work by Reza Namavar, inspired by Vivaldi's Double Concerto in A minor. Early music in a new way; new music inspired by old masters.

The name of the recorder comes from the Latin 'ricordare la voce'. Literally: 'remembering the voice'. Lucie puts it to the test. She plays the recorder in Bach's Harpsichord Concerto, an arrangement by Frans Brüggen, founder of the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century and also a renowned recorder player, who died in 2014. In the second part Lucie sings. She goes back to the vocal roots of this concert: Bach's own aria Stirb in mir, Welt from the cantata Gott soll allein mein Herze haben. As a final piece, Horsch made an arrangement for recorder of Bach's Violin Concerto in A minor. This is how Bach would have sounded if he had composed for recorder.
