This programme takes on Bach's love of adopting other pieces as in Vivaldi's Concerto for Four Violins and Strings which he reworked for four harpsichords. Bach added at least four extra parts and restructured the fabric like a kaleidoscope which, when directed at a certain object, is reflective and imaginative at the same time. Programming Bach's concerto for four harpsichords gives EMV a chance to showcase four outstanding keyboard players as well as its harpsichord collection. It also features the excellent work of local builder Craig Tomlinson whose instruments are used by the Vancouver Symphony, Vancouver Opera, UBC, and EMV. This concert is a celebration of magnificent polyphony, counterpoint, and accumulated keyboard power but mostly, it is a tribute to the immense wealth of Bach's compositions.
