Spirit of Bach Mixtape
Episode b09jcbyb, broadcast at Monday 25th December 2017, 12:00am, and Monday 18th December 2017, 7:00pm.
“To mark the Spirit of Bach season this special In Tune Mixtape tries to capture that very spirit. This all-Bach mixtape dares to venture into the mind of the elderly, reflective Johann Sebastian Bach, to walk in his shoes as he reminisces about a life's work; perhaps even imagining how future musicians might reinvent his music, just as he did himself, time and time again. In 30 minutes it takes in the B minor mass, a keyboard Partita, a cello Suite, a Cantata, an organ chorale, a Brandenburg Concerto, the St Matthew Passion, The Art of Fugue and a violin Partita, all of it knitted together with the Air from the Orchestral Suite No 3. If you like, it's an invitation to take the air with Bach. Narrated by Horatio Clare. Produced by Philip Barrett.”
