Today he performs all 24 of the Preludes which were conceived as an evolving cycle of short pieces, one in each of the major and minor keys. Also from Edinburgh violinist Leonidas Kavakos and The Apollon Ensemble perform concertos by Bach; and we eavesdrop on the recital given by violinist Bomsori Kim in concert with pianist Thomas Hoppe.
