Performances of Johann Sebastian Bach at BBC Proms

Celebrated French organist Olivier Latry returns to the Proms for the first time in over a decade. The organist of Paris’s Notre-Dame Cathedral roams through 250 years of music in a wide-ranging recital that stretches from Bach to de Falla.

Baroque-music collective Solomon’s Knot makes its Proms debut with a late-night, all-Bach concert of cantatas, including the richly scored 'Es erhub sich ein Streit', and 'Man singet mit Freuden vom Sieg'.

The Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra and Andris Nelsons explore scale in a programme that sets Bruckner’s vast Symphony No. 8 against the meticulous detail of Bach’s organ works, including the popular chorale ‘Wachet auf’.

John Butt and his period-instrument ensemble the Dunedin Consort explore the music of Bach. They pair Bach’s four Orchestral Suites with four newly commissioned works, each taking inspiration from the dances that are the heartbeat of Bach’s music.

Beethoven’s revolutionary Fifth Symphony provides the climax of a concert by Andrew Manze and the NDR Radiophilharmonie Hannover that also includes music from Beethoven’s Fidelio and works by the composer’s musical forebears Bach and Handel.
