Bach Incognito - Mr. Bach's Memories

What if Bach himself told you his life story?
Delightful anecdotes, humorous moments, and deeply moving trials: each episode immediately comes to life through music.
A harpsichordist-actor lends his voice and harpsichord to the master, accompanied by violin, flute, and cello, to bring Johann Sebastian Bach’s rich life to life with humor and emotion. Above all a concert, where signature works and rarer pieces interplay, this  performance weaves narrative and music into a portrait that is both intimate and gripping.
