Composer Cousins
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, December 12, 2021 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
Johann Sebastian Bach came from a large family of gifted musicians, and he enjoyed lifelong relationships with two of his composer cousins, Johann Ludwig Bach and Johann Bernhard Bach. He is known to have performed their music with the Collegium Musicum at Leipzig. The latest recording from Concerto Italiano and their founder conductor, Rinaldo Alessandrini, features Bach's Orchestral Suites and two similar works from his esteemed cousins. We'll hear from all three Bachs on this week's program. We'll also hear plenty of seasonal music by Handel, Palestrina, and others.
