A weekday programme about the oeuvre of Johann Sebastian Bach with producer Govert Jan Bach and host Joop van Zijl.
Episode 300. This anniversary edition is not, as usual, compiled by Govert Jan Bach, but by Irene Stolp, Coordinator Early Music.
On occasion of our 300th episode Govert Jan Bach thought it would be nice to get Irene away from her desk and put her next to Joop van Zijl.
Irene creates a many programmes herself and she is the editor of all our Early Music programmes. Meaning she is also responsible for Bach Ad Infinitum. She keeps an eye on concerts, has a large network and maintains the website for the programme.
Joop van Zijl is, as always, looking forward to the show, and will put Irene at ease. Who is Irene? And what place has Bach in her life? What are her favourite pieces?
