With Bach from Italy: The Vivaldi & Marcello Influences, released in October 2025, Amandine Beyer and her ensemble Gli Incogniti explore the Italian sources that shaped Johann Sebastian Bach. Across two CDs, Bach’s concertos are placed in dialogue with works by Vivaldi and the Marcello brothers, revealing the Italian influence on his musical language and expressive imagination.
The performance highlights polyphonic clarity, lively instrumental lines, and rich baroque colors, offering a reading that is both dynamic and elegant. Listeners are transported into a world where German and Italian styles meet at the heart of the Baroque.
Through this approach, Beyer and Gli Incogniti bring out the vitality and light that inspired Bach in his Italian models, uncovering a lesser-known yet essential facet of the composer, full of virtuosity and lyricism.
