Annette Richards, organ recital. “18th- and 20th-Century Baroque.” Includes music by J. S. Bach, C. P. E. Bach, Andriessen, and Pärt. In a recital that explores the many colors of the Cornell Baroque Organ, an instrument that was completed in Ithaca in 2011 and that reimagines a glorious German organ of 1706, Annette Richards invites listeners into the sound world of the early 18th century with two major works by J. S. Bach (the Toccata, Adagio, and Fugue in C Major, BWV 564 and the Partite sopra ‘Sei gegrüsset, Jesu gütig,’ BWV 768). The concert then turns to the afterlife of the Bachian organ-baroque, first with the galant music of C. P. E. Bach, and then, closer, perhaps, to the Anabel Taylor instrument itself, the music of 20th-century composers Hendrik Andriessen (‘Thema met Variaties’, for Lady Susi Jeans) and Arvo Pärt (‘Trivium’).
