“While I was warming up in a dressing room recently, a piece of artwork on the wall caught my eye. In the center was the following excerpt from T.S. Elliot: ‘…The past experience revived in the meaning / Is not the experience of one life only / But of many generations…’ Had Eliot been describing the music of J.S. Bach, he would have hit the nail right on the head. As with many other works of classical music, countless interpretations of these four concerti have been passed from generation to generation, from teacher to student, from legendary musician to admirer, and from colleague to colleague. In Bach’s case, this continuation of tradition has lasted well over two centuries. The world has changed greatly since he composed these works, but through it all, his music has remained unsullied, a touchstone of emotional purity.”
