ALL IN THE BACH FAMILY

 

ALL IN THE BACH FAMILY

with Elizabeth Wallfisch, violin and guest leader.

“Make music not war. It could be her motto. ... The violin gives Elizabeth Wallfisch a voice not only as a prominent interpreter of baroque and classical repertoire but also as the instrument of an inspiring leader and director.”—Hyperion Records

Was there ever a better known musical family name than BACH? We all know Johann Sebastian, the master, but there were 12 other musical Bachs. We won’t have time for them all, but since it’s all in the family, you’ll get to hear music by Carl Philipp Emanuel, Wilhelm Friedrich, Johann Christian, and Johann Bernhard—and of course J.S. himself.
