The Festival of Early Music in Bucharest has started today celebrating it’s fifth edition and also dedicated to the great baroque composer, Bach. Aaaach!
Also it coincides with the Halloween’s eve so there might be a coincidence here since we’re talking about a guy that lived about 300 years ago and still his music is being heard to this day.
He was born in 1685 in Germany in a family of musicians. He left his mark in the music history by composing a variety of works such as cantatas and organ pieces. Well-known for his brandenburgic concerts commissioned by the Prince of Brandenburg Christian Ludwig, Bach remains one of the most favorite composers of all time. People still listen to his music and I consider him to be the first person who composed and prepared the road for Jazz music wihtout even knowing it. Check out McFerrins concert “Swinging Bach” if you don’t believe.
Returning to the Early Music Festival, it appears that this event is growing year by year and that couldn’t be more great. We are fortunate to have one of the biggest classical music festivals in the world such as George Enescu Festival but that happens every two years. So, any music festivals are welcomed and really hope this one will turn into something great that will last for many years from now on.
