The celebrated German baritone’s career took off when he won the Shostakovich Prize in 1996 in Moscow and an award at the Edinburgh International Festival. His concert debut was under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle with the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and he has gone on to achieve an acclaimed international career. He will work with students from London music colleges in this afternoon’s masterclass.

These two works date from the period of Bach’s life spent in Cöthen, in the employ of the court of Prince Leopold. The sonata ranges from the stately solemnity of the opening Adagio through a vigorous Fugue and a graceful Siciliana to a moto-perpetuo-like finale. In the freer form of the Partita, each of the main movements – Allemanda, Correnta, Sarabande, and Tempo di Borea (or Bourrée) – is followed by a Double (or variation).
