Bach Gerard Schwarz, Seattle Symphony Orchestra - Symphonic Bach
Review by Werner Nieke
Symphonic Bach, an album by Bach Gerard Schwarz and the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, is a stunning tribute to the works of Johann Sebastian Bach. The album features six of Bach's famous pieces, including Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, Air on the G String, and Toccata and Fugue in D minor.
The Seattle Symphony Orchestra, under the direction of Schwarz, delivers a powerful and emotional performance that showcases the beauty and complexity of Bach's music. The orchestra's attention to detail and precision is evident in every note, creating a truly immersive listening experience.
Schwarz's interpretation of Bach's works is masterful, bringing a modern flair to these classic pieces while still honoring their traditional roots. The album's seamless transitions and fluidity make it a joy to listen to from start to finish.

About Bach Gerard Schwarz, Seattle Symphony Orchestra
Johann Sebastian Bach was born on March 21, 1685 in Eisenach, Thuringia, Germany. A prolific German composer and organist, his sacred and secular works for choir, orchestra and solo instruments drew together the strands of the baroque genre and brought it to its ultimate maturity. Although he introduced no new forms, he enriched the prevailing German style with a robust contrapuntal technique, a control of harmonic and motivic organisation from the smallest to the largest scales, and the adaptation of rhythms and textures from abroad, particularly Italy and France. Many people consider him to be the greatest Baroque composer, and one of the greatest composers of all time.
Revered for their intellectual depth, technical command and artistic beauty, J.S. Bach's works include the Brandenburg concertos, the keyboard suites and partitas, the Mass in B Minor, the St. Matthew Passion, The Musical Offering, The Art of Fugue and a large number of cantatas, of which about 220 survive. He died on July 28, 1750.
Some of his sons also became composers - , , and .
