Par ADLER SAMUEL. Premiered in October 2018 by the Toledo Symphony Orchestra, principal tubist David Saltzman as soloist, the Concerto features three movements with a cadenza between the second and third. Adler likens the solo passages in the first movement and cadenza to a singing cantor, an obvious homage to his own father's work in that role. Listen as Toledo Symphony Lab discusses the Concerto…

Jesu bleibet meine Freude from Cantata 147. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach’s appointment as the Cantor at Leipzig’s Thomaskirche in 1723 required him to produce a new cantata for every Sunday service.

It is perhaps the best-loved cantata movement from Bach’s entire o…

Du moulin Bach porte en effet l'empreinte, celle de son lointain aïeul boulanger qui donna naissance à  l'une des plus prestig…
