Concert Bach Laterna Magica

The Laterna Magica ensemble honors the historic tradition of arranging and transcribing works, giving these practices a prominent place in its concert programs. Following Exercitium, Mimesis is the ensemble's second program dedicated entirely to the works of Johann Sebastian Bach. Inspired by the example of the sonata BWV 1039, which Bach himself transcribed for viola da gamba and harpsichord from an earlier version for two traversos and basso continuo, Laterna Magica has adapted the sonata BWV 1015 for violin and harpsichord, as well as the sonata BWV 527—originally composed for organ—for its own ensemble, consisting of two recorders and basso continuo. The program is rounded out with three organ chorales (BWV 639 "Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ," BWV 645 "Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme," and BWV 655 "Herr Jesu Christ, dich zu uns wend"), which the ensemble has recorded for the Paraty label.
