Bachfest Leipzig, Zeitgeschichtliches Forum Leipzig

21.06.2019 – What was the nature of Johann Sebastian Bach’s choirs? Soloistic or large? How did they sound? This old and much-discussed question was tackled on June 21, 2019, at the Leipzig Bachfest. Three PdSK jurors sat on the podium next to director Michael Maul: Eleonore Büning, Sabine Fallenstein, and Martin Elste (from left to right).
