About

Why did Bach make his famous journey to North Germany to visit the great organist - composer Dieterich Buxtehude, when there were other celebrated musicians closer to Arnstadt? Did he have lessons from Buxtehude, take part in performances or perhaps seek employment in Lubeck? And what changes took place in Bach's music before and after his visit? There will be live examples using the famous 1801 organ at Lothbury. Organist: Anne-Caroline Prenat from Switzerland Supported by Z/Yen
