Johann Sebastian Bach can easily be called the forefather of music. The countless works that he put down on paper in his lifetime and left to posterity were and are a constant source of inspiration for composers from all eras and all over the world.
Heitor Villa-Lobos' "Bachianas Brasileiras" is a tribute by the Brazilian-born composer to 'Papa Bach'. The cellists of the Lucerne Symphony Orchestra whisk us away into a world of sound that spans the gap between the Old and New Worlds. The Bachianas No. 1 for cello octet are rhythmic, elegiac and fiery. These works are framed by arrangements for eight cellos by Johann Sebastian Bach, Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and Julius Klengel, among others.
