Sven-David Sandström: The Hidden Treasure

Shortly after Sven-David Sandström’s death, in June, 2019, Omer Meir Wellber conducted the world premiere of The Hidden Treasure – a free interpretation of Bach’s Der Kunst der Fuge. The concert took place in the St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, where Bach himself once held the title of cantor. The piece is now performed in Sweden for the first time, alongside two further contemporary Bach interpretations. Israeli mandolin player Jacob Reuven interprets Avner Dorman’s poetically charged Mandolin Concerto from 2006. The concert is crowned by Schumann’s immense fourth symphony.
