Happy 340th birthday, Johann Sebastian Bach! Bärenreiter is truly indebted to you for your wonderful music.

The “New Bach Edition” 117 music volumes and 101 Critical Reports have been published as part of the monumental “New Bach Edition”. Thousands of hours of musicological work went into this project, a “towering” achievement.

Hopefully you had lots of success as a result? 😀

Remembering Bernard Haitink who would have been 96 today. One of the great conductors of our generation and an extremely very modest man. We saw him in the audience at Garsington Opera - my wife requested his autograph. 'Why me' he said 'I have done nothing - I'm just sitting here watching!'

Carmen was first performed 150 years ago today at the Opera Comique. Sadly Bizet died later the same year believing Carmen to be a failure Our new edition presents the work containing all surviving original versions of the opéra-comique Read more here www.takte-online.de/en/search-re...

Without doubt, this is a landmark publication of a wrongly overlooked and genuinely brilliant Romantic piano masterpiece, and for advanced pianists, it is surely an essential purchase.

Franz Schubert was born 228 years ago today As well as being a great composer he was a genius, a rebel, an unrequited lover, a tragic figure in western music history He left us a truly wonderful legacy for which we should be very thankful
