J.S. Bach’s Musical Offering is a tour de force collection in which a single melody is continuously transformed in ways that challenge both the imagination and the intellect. Les Délices offers a guided tour of this incredible, rarely-performed work, elucidating Bach’s rich counterpoint through instrumental colors including violins, viola, flute, oboe da caccia, bassoon, cello, and harpsichord.
