150th Anniversary Special: Bach's Greatest Hits

Saison 2 · Épisode 1

mercredi 14 janvier 2026 • Durée 40:56

Bach’s music turns up everywhere from cigar ads to horror films. You can probably hum bits of Bach even if you’re not a classical fan. But what makes his music so popular and why is he still so influential 300 years on? To celebrate The Bach Choir’s 150th Anniversary, we’ve made three special episodes all about Bach and his best-known compositions.

This time our host and Musical Director, David Hill, is joined by BBC Radio 3’s Linton Stephens to talk about six of Bach’s most famous pieces. Along the way they tackle musical taboos (why can’t most classical musicians improvise?), classical music wrangles (did Bach actually write the Toccata and Fugue?), and great stories (why did Bach once threaten a bassoonist with a sword?). Plus, we hear from some of our friends - including superstar organist and broadcaster Anna Lapwood - about their favourite Bach pieces.
