All About That Figured Bass
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, June 5, 2022 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
Tune in this week, and find out which composer was a key innovator in the use of figured bass. (And find out what figured bass is too.) We also hear a Bach cantata for the first day of Pentecost. And we'll check out a relatively new recording from German pianist Heidrun Holtmann, an artist who is just now becoming known outside of Europe.
