About

A fresh take on J S Bach, led by Jed Wentz, a founder member of the ensemble Musica ad Rhenum. The ensemble aims to perform music of the baroque period implementing the basso continuo styles and tempi indicated in 18th century source material. Whilst doing so they defend the performer’s right to be equal to the composer when interpreting and realising the score. This makes for an exciting experience, far removed from dry, academic interpretations of the music.

Wentz writes ‘All I can say about this recording is that it is a true and honest reflection of how I felt these pieces should be performed on the day I recorded them. About some of them I have already changed my mind as my own taste revolves with the times: of Bach’s wishes I know as little as anyone else.

The instruments used in this recording are reconstructions of originals from Bach’s time, and sources such as Kirnberger and Quantz are the guides on matters of tempi, the expression of metre signs, and on technique.

Borgstede performs regularly at venues such as The Concertgebouw, Wigmore Hall and the Konzerthaus in Vienna. He has won the York Early Music Competition and the Ben Weber Award.
