Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, February 6, 2022 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
Several artists have recently released new recordings that we'll feature this week. Listen to one of the Bach English Suites from recently retired pianist/conductor Vladimir Ashkenazy's last recording as well as a selection from the new album of Bach viola da gamba sonatas by Sarah Cunninghame (viola da gamba) and Richard Eggar (harpsichord), two of music's foremost period instrument musicians. We'll also hear a motet with disputed attribution. Is it by Bach or one of his musical cousins? No one knows for sure, but it will brighten the morning all the same.
