Johann Sebastian Bach may have never physically left his native turf in eastern Germany, but his music provided a virtual vehicle to take him around Europe. His music not only captures the essence of French and Italian Baroque styles, but also integrates these with his German love of counterpoint so as to transcend earlier models. Grammy-nominated string ensemble AgAve and soprano sensation Jennifer Paulino take you on a European tour, with music by French and Italian composers whose works were to be found in Bach’s library, as well as works by the master himself, including his only Italian cantata and an exceptional overture in the French style.
