“

American composer, conductor and educator, Lukas Foss, has contributed profoundly to the circulation and appreciation of music from the 20th century. He began his musical studies in Berlin, where he studied piano and theory with Julius Goldstein (Herford). Goldstein introduced Foss to the music of Bach, Mozart and Beethoven, which proved to have a profound effect on Foss's musical development. In 1933, Foss went to Paris, where he studied piano with Lazare Levy, as well as composition with Noel Gallon, orchestration with Felix Wolfes and flute with Marcel Moyse. Foss remained in Paris until 1937, when he moved, with his family, to the United States, where he continued his musical instruction at the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. In addition to his Curtis studies, Foss studied conducting with Koussevitzky during the summers from 1939 to 1943 at the Berkshire Music Center. He also studied composition with Paul Hindemith as a special student at Yale from 1939 to 1940...

I almost skipped this, because I thought I had Bach keyboard concertos "covered", but the setup looked intriguing, and indeed, I'm glad I checked this out... the intimate arrangement with piano & string quartet is "just right". A lovely album, THANKS!

The 1052 in string quartet version!
Sounds promising...
Very kind of you.

Thanks for this, very interesting discovery, above all I wonder with wich instruments Bach by himself would have listened to his own compositions.
