Every two years, the worlds finest athletes gather at the Olympic Games — a spectacular celebration of sporting excellence that captures the attention of billions of people around the world. However, the Games are about much more than just sport. They bring the Olympic values to life and provide a global arena for a unique combination of sport, culture, education and ceremonies.
At the Olympic Games in London 2012, about 10,500 athletes from 204 countries compete in 26 different sports, comprising 302 medal events. Whether athletes win a medal or not, they can forever call themselves Olympians. The sporting competitions are undoubtedly the central focus of the Olympic Games and participating in the Games is the ultimate goal for most athletes.
Every edition has its own story to tell and will be remembered for some truly remarkable performances from sporting legends such as Jesse Owens, Abebe Bikila, Jean-Claude Killy, Nadia Comaneci, Katarina Witt, Michael Phelps and Usain Bolt, to name just a few.

Volume 10 CD 1
This Concerto for Oboe and Violin in C Minor, performed by Emma Black and Shunske Sato for All of Bach, is a reconstruction of the supposed original form of the concerto for two harpsichords in C Minor. In this version, each instrument makes full use of its own timbre and characteristics. In the finale, the violin clearly gets more scope than the oboe to show off its most virtuoso side, while in the second movement – a rocking Siciliano – both instruments become closely entangled.
Recorded for the project All of Bach on December 6th 2019 at Stadsgehoorzaal, Leiden. If you want to help us complete All of Bach, please subscribe to our channel bit.ly/2vhCeFB and consider donating bit.ly/2uZuMj5.
