Historical context

Bach's music has always been intended to enlighten the spirit and honor God. Even today his music can inspire us and spark a sense of awe. Like almost all composers from the early romantic period onwards, also Barrios took great inspiration from Bach. After all, there is no greater music than Bach, but then there is Barrios: Starting with four waltzes that qualify Barrios' style as being a South-American composer, I like to finish this concert with a piece that is clearly inspired by the music of the great master
