Johann Sebastian Bach once said that Handel was the only person he’d want to be, were he not already Bach. These two titans of the Baroque never met, but Bach loved the music of his fellow German, Handel, and the brilliant Italian Vivaldi; he went so far as to transcribe Vivaldi concertos for organ.
All three composers are front and center as the ASO’s concertmaster David Coucheron and principal oboist Elizabeth Koch Tiscione play the Bach Concerto for Violin and Oboe alongside works by Handel and Vivaldi, led by the orchestra’s new music director, Nathalie Stutzmann.
