  • On The Bach Hour, pianist Simone Dinnerstein describes her childhood entry into the composer's music through his Two-Part Inventions, and why they remain continually fascinating.
  • Salonen leads the Boston Symphony in his own Horn Concerto, with soloist Stefan Dohr, a piece inspired by Bruckner’s soaring Symphony No. 4, the “Romantic” Symphony.
  • On The Bach Hour, the Academy for Ancient Music Berlin brings vibrant textures and colors to the composer's ultimate musical statement in counterpoint, and John Eliot Gardiner conducts the Cantata No. 181, confronting "light-minded, frivolous spirits."
What makes an opera performance great? GBH Music partnered with Boston Lyric Opera, New England Conservatory of Music, and legendary opera singers Patricia Racette, Susan Graham, and Davóne Tines to explore an extraordinary art form.
