Johann Sebastian Bach was one of the first composers to write concerti for the keyboard and is therefore considered the pioneer of the keyboard concerto in the history of music. Almost all of them are reworkings of concerti for other solo instruments (mainly violin).

Bach’s Concerto for two keyboards in C minor, BWV 1062 is thought to be a reworking of the Concerto for two violins and orchestra in D minor. The first movement (Vivace) is a typical concerto grosso. The second movement (Largo ma non tanto) is charming in its delicacy and intimacy and is considered to be one of the most lyrical pages of Bach’s oeuvre. The third movement (Allegro assai) is an energetic and virtuosic finale.

The Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra shares the stage with Anna and Lukas Geniušas. Both pianists are winners of numerous international competitions and have toured all over the world, performing at venues such as London’s Wigmore Hall, Amsterdam’s Concertgebouw, Paris’ Salle Gaveau, and Genoa’s Teatro Carlo Felice. Martynas Stakionis, a young Lithuanian conductor, graces the conductor’s podium.
