With their new album Generations, Aleksandra and Alexander Grychtolik present prominent ‘influencers’ of keyboard music who shaped the transition from the galant style to the classical period. This journey begins with Wilhelm Friedemann Bach and Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach, who composed works for two harpsichords in the footsteps of their father, Johann Sebastian Bach, and continues through their half-brother Johann Christian Bach to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, widely regarded as the inventor of four-handed playing and deeply inspired by the music of the Bach sons.

A once abandoned Passion project by J. S. Bach? Harpsichordist and conductor Alexander Grychtolik, together with the Il Gardellino Orchestra, embarks on a captivating artistic experiment with this presentation of the Passion Oratorio BWV Anh. 169. The starting point for the partial reconstruction attempt and the completion of the work is the surviving libretto by the poet Picander from 1725. This unique endeavor draws the audience into a profound exploration of human empathy with the poignant suffering of Jesus and sheds light on a passion aesthetic we had not seen previously in Bach’s repertoire.
