J.S. Bach's Musical Offering is one of his last works, and is often seen as the old master's musical testament. In it he shows the full possibilities of counterpoint, a final display of the rule-based, Christian view of the world that marked the Baroque.
The work also stands as a response to the new music of the Enlightenment, with its more individual and subjective approach. Because it is rarely performed, this evening is a special chance to hear it.
Four of Denmark's leading classical musicians join forces with author Jens Christian Grøndahl and actor Jens Albinus for a staged concert that turns the piece into a drama about faith and reason. The performers are violinist Christina Åstrand, cellist Henrik Dam Thomsen, flautist Ulla Miilmann and organist Peter Navarro-Alonso, with Jens Christian Grøndahl and Jens Albinus also taking part.
