Improvisations on Bach

Ruedi LUTZ (harpsichord & organ) improvising on themes by Bach with three student instrumentalists from the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis

The festival's favorite child is sure to never stop surprising us! He will be coming to the festival in Rougemont this year in the same guise as we first met him in 2001: as the professor for improvisation at the prestigious Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, an institution to which the festival owes a great deal. "Primus inter pares", he and three of his students will be performing contrapuntal 'convolutions' based on Bach's music, which he knows so intimately.
