The Discovery Ensemble plays Bach

Podcast Episode Summary

Bach didn't often write music in a "lighter" vein, but when called upon, he came up with something really brilliant.  This piece was premiered at Zimmerman's Coffee House in Leipzig in 1931, probably by a group of young musicians - not too much different from the Discovery Ensemble, conducted  in our studio in 2010 by Courtney Lewis.
