Immerse yourself in the forces of nature, human ingenuity, and the elemental building blocks of creation. Listen as Jean-Féry Rebel conjures earth, air, fire, and water, and as Telemann’s musical brilliance flows with shimmering aquatic energy. Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins and Orchestral Suite No. 4 blend expert craftsmanship with the life, motion, imagination, and wonder at the heart of creation itself.
