Bach: Mass in B Minor Dona nobis pacem

A recording of J.S. Bach's 'Preludie in C' played by Neil Balfour.

When J.S. Bach began working on his epic Well-Tempered Clavier in 1722, chances are he wasn't thinking that it would become one of the defining musical texts in keyboard history. But, somehow, it has - and the Prelude No. 1 in C Major is where it all starts.

The Well-Tempered Clavier (there are two volumes of it, each containing a prelude and a fugue in each musical key) kicks off in C Major, the most 'natural' musical key, so he obviously made sure that the first entry is a good one. Few pieces of keyboard music sound so delicate and fragile, but there's a very Bach-ian stability to it as well. 

It's a strikingly simple piece to begin with, gently phasing through different chords and registers, but it's one of those pieces that demands to be tinkered with. Consequently, you'll hear plenty of different interpretations of this much-loved work.

Beethoven, Sonata for piano No. 8, “Pathétique” - Adagio cantabile

Performed by Megan Maeve McCarthy
Pianst: Blair Salter

Her brother Tolomeo has ordered Cleopatra to prison for scheming with the now-apparently-drowned Caesar. Saddened by the turn of events, Cleopatra contemplates what fate has given her and how, when she is dead, she could come back and haunt her brother.

Why then, in one day,
I am deprived of magnificence and glory? 
Oh, cruel fate!
Caesar, my beloved idol is probably dead,
Cornelia and Sesto are defenceless
and cannot give me assistance. O God!
There is no hope left in my life.

I will bemoan my fate
so cruel and brutal
As long as there is breath left in my body.
And when I am dead
and become a ghost, I will haunt
the tyrant night and day.

Piangero La Sorte Mia (Guilio Cesare) by G.F. Handel
