Mit seiner Spezialisierung auf Barockmusik und die Auffüh­ rung der Werke Johann Sebastian Bachs an den authentischen Bach stätten verfügt das Festival über künstlerische wie touristische Anziehungskraft zugleich – in Thüringen und darüber hinaus.

The Thuringia Bach Festival is the largest festival of classical mus­ ic in the Free State of Thuringia. Specialising in Baroque music and performing the works of Johann Sebastian Bach in authentic sites, the festival appeals to music lovers and tourists alike. The state of Thuringia forms an ideal backdrop to the festival because of the unique role it played in the life of Johann Sebastian Bach. Thuringia is home to a wealth of authentic Bach sites, includ ­ ing the Bachhaus and Bach’s baptismal church in Eisenach, the church in Dornheim where he was married, Mühlhausen, Arnstadt and Weimar where he composed much of his early work, as well as his ancestral houses in Erfurt and Wechmar. These impressive set­ tings provide a stage and an historical context for a series of ambit­ ious concerts, which make up the programme of this festival.

  • Media Release – Radio/Streaming
    Media Release – Radio/Streaming A Musical Journey – An exciting (virtual) musical adventure through 18th century Europe The Hague, 5 May 2020 Dear Sir/Madam, Cooped up at home with itchy feet, music lovers will be yearning for the outside, dreaming of the romance of travel, of their favourite cultural destinations and the life-affirming, sensual experiences associated with them – that tangy cocktail overlooking the opera house on that sun-drenched piazza, that fresh handcrafted pilsner served in a ceramic mug straight from the wooden barrel in the beer hall in the monastery in Salzburg after a festival show, or that glass of sparkling Sekt as one wanders around, barefoot in the grass, amongst the vines on the rolling hills of the Rheingau. I know I am. Thankfully, even in isolation, music lets us travel – in time, in space, and through the minds of great composers – just by using our own ears. For this reason, I have created A Musical Journey. It takes its inspiration both from the 18th century's tradition of imaginary voyages such as Swift's Gulliver's Travels and the period's voracious appetite for actual physical travel which saw superstar musicians constantly criss-crossing the Continent and the rise of the Grand Tour phenomenon. A Musical Journey takes listeners on an exciting (virtual) musical adventure through 18th century Europe, visiting the glittering musical centres of the time including Rome, Venice, Berlin, Mannheim, Leipzig, London, The Hague and St Petersburg. Including world-première recordings of rediscovered musical gems, this voyage of discovery features tracks from the NDA's recent travel- themed albums, GRAND TOUR Baroque Road Trip and JET SET! Classical Glitterati (PENTATONE), together with works from earlier albums.

For one special concert, Sydney-born conductor and viola player Simon Murphy returns to his homeland together with German star soprano Gudrun Sidonie Otto, period instrument ensemble New Dutch Academy and a treasure chest of rare riches from the Baroque repertoire: Vivaldi, Handel, Telemann, de Fesch, van Wassenaer and more. In this concert, Murphy and the NDA utilise a compact Baroque ensemble of the size and type which Bach himself used at the court in Köthen and at his smaller, intimate concerts in Leipzig. With one instrument per part, the richly intricate part writing of Bach and his contemporaries - as well as the vitality and immediacy of their musical language in performance - comes to the fore. The program features breathtaking Dutch Baroque works by Hacquart – a member of the Huygens circle and the composer of the very first opera written in Dutch – as well as by The Hague statesman Van Wassenaer, by Handel’s Dutch concertmaster De Fesch, and by Dutch-based Bach colleague Schickhardt from his revolutionary L’Alphabet de la musique, a collection of 24 sonatas with one appearing in each of the musical keys.
