Description

Some familiar names, Bach, Schütz, Vivaldi, some less familiar Böhm, Reinken, Buxtehude, make up the complex recipe that produced the miraculous mixture that is the music of J.S. Bach. Joseph Spencer, founder of the Musical Offering record shop and café in Berkeley and a principal programmer of the Early Music Festival at Cal Performances, plays a sort of musicological Julia Child, throwing in perhaps an insight or two into the life of northern Europe in the seventeenth century for flavor. (from KPFA Folio)
