Bach’s concertos represent the summit of Baroque ingenuity, packed with emotional depth and melodic splendor. Hear two of the finest examples in performances by Orion Weiss. Mozart offers a delightful take on a Baroque concerto grosso in his Serenata notturna, while Arvo Pärt nods to the Renaissance era in his luminous Summa. Completing this era-spanning mosaic is Prokofiev’s affectionate parody of Haydn and his Classical mannerisms.
