Add to Calendar

Bach, Telemann, Fasch and Graupner were all finalists for the same job in Leipzig. The post went to Bach, but Telemann’s epic twelfth Paris Quartet, dazzling lute and recorder concertos by Fasch, a bubbly suite by Graupner and Bach’s elegaic Harpsichord Concerto in F Minor make compelling cases in support of all four of these composers.
