Bach and Forth

Everyone has an opinion, whether asked for or not. On our next Pipedreams program we'll argue the opinions of eight esteemed artists, each of whom has a personal view of the music of Johann Sebastian Bach. I'm not sure we'll find (or even desire) a consensus, but we will be provoked by the playing of Harald Vogel, Wolfgang Rübsam, Kate van Tricht, and Anthony Newman. We'll hear them perform on various instruments from Bach's time and other organs inspired by history and by the methods by which music was generally created when those particular organs were built.

The greatest music demands the greatest interpreters, and we find out just how broad the interpretive stage can be when eight players and as many instruments pay homage to the genius of Johann Sebastian. The interpretive pendulum swings "Bach and Forth" this week on Pipedreams.
