Johann Sebastian BACH 1685-1750

Considered by the Romantics to be the father of Germanic music, the Leipzag Cantor composed extensively in all genres except opera. Although he never left Germany, he worked in several cities and princely courts, the most important of which were Cöthen, Weimar and Leipzig. We take a look at three emblematic works by this virtuoso and master of counterpoint: The Well-Tempered Clavier, the Brandenburg Concertos and the St. Matthew Passion.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR 2025:
