Johann Sebastian Bach: Magnificat
I’ve been feeling unwell for a few days and, although I was looking forward to spending several hours blogging today, I’m still not up to it. (Nothing serious, I hope: just a bad headache and fatigue.)
It’s a good day to listen to Bach’s Magnificat. This is the first part of his choral masterpiece, performed by the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra and Choir, conducted by the great Ton Koopman.
