Salut! Baroque - "The Genius"
CPE Bach described his father’s house as “like a pigeonry, and just as full of
life”, with Johann Sebastian keeping an open house where “no master of
music was likely to travel through [Leipzig] without making my father’s
acquaintance and letting himself be heard by him”. Bach was a genial host,
in contrast to his combative relationship with authority. The complex
character behind the music we admire so greatly was not always so well
regarded during his life, and it was often his rivals who enjoyed the greater
success. This program places the genius of Bach’s music beside the
composers who most impacted his life and work.
