A day after Christmas, Vlad celebrates ‘Bach-Sing’ day! It’s a perfect day to enjoy the music of the many members of the very-extended Bach family, especially the gorgeous vocal cantatas that make up such a recognisable part of Johann Sebastian’s oeuvres. Keeping in the festive spirit, we’ll get to hear motets and cantatas by the many Johanns, plus medieval Christmas polyphony from Notre Dame, Italian praise-song, and a stockingful of early carols and villancicos left over from Christmas Day. With instrumental and vocal music from 800 to 1800, Vlad’s cornucopia of seasonal music starts your morning on ‘Bach-Sing’ Day 2021!
