Veľkonočný koncertEaster Concert

One of the most ardent admirers of Johann Sebastian Bach was Max Reger. He honoured Bach’s legacy especially in his organ works and in various arrangements of the Baroque genius’ vocal compositions. Max Bruch was a sought-after and successful music teacher. He devoted himself to his compositions rather alongside this activity. However, he achieved considerable success and some of his works inspired his followers, the two Musical Concertos falling into this category of Bruch's opuses. One of the great magnates of opera, Gioacchino Rossini, at the height of his fame as an opera composer, finally retired in 1829. He devoted himself to cooking and sporadically composing sacred and salon music. The works thus produced he himself described as “sins of old age”.
