From Monday 7th December to Friday 11th December Bach ad Infinitum is all about the nominations for the Bach cd of 2020! On Monday a podcast of Bach & Co, discussing the nominated cd’s.
We’re in the last month of the year and so Bach ad Infinitum presents the annual nominations for the choice of Bach cd of the year.
2020 was a very dramatic year with everything, which will long remain in the memory: the American elections, Brexit and obviously the Covid-19 pandemic. A cosmic shift in world history. The whole culture has taken a beating and we’re not finished yet. But Bach remains ! Heaven and Earth might disappear, eternal musicians remain!
