Program: Biscuits & Bach
Aired: Sunday, August 30, 2020 @ 7:00 am
Hosted by Rachel Stewart
Explore several tracks from the 2019 album, "Sisters Face to Face – The Bach Legacy in Women's Hands." You'll hear unique arrangements of music by Bach and his sons for harpsichord and fortepiano performed by The Raritan Players who are Rebecca Cypress and Yi-heng Yang. Cypress and Yang recreate the duo-keyboard performance practice of the late 18th century that was most often played by members of the same family, often females.
