New Perspectives on Bach
Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, December 31, 2017 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
Very few original manuscripts from Johann Sebastian Bach have survived the centuries. Additionally, he was known to make arrangements and transcriptions of his own work to suit various instrumentations. So finding definitive versions of his works can prove difficult. With this in mind, we feature the ensemble Furor Musicus from the Netherlands and their album, J.S. Bach: Reconstructions and Transcriptions for Strings. Much of the music on the recording will be recognizable to listeners, but the arrangements may offer a new perspective on a familiar piece.
