RE: 7 Interesting and Weird Facts About... Johann Sebastian Bach, AKA 'The Old Wig' (According to his son...)
Bach, so many masterpieces! So many cantatas that are gems as well. He really overshadows other composers from that period.
I know! But there are also other composers that I like from that period, like Purcell. But Bach is the main representative of the period :)
Check out Rameau for some really French Baroque, a very different style.
Yup! Just listened to some works by him on Youtube. Less intense than Bach, a little lighter in overall feel, but still very Baroque.
I'm seriously enjoying listening to him, thanks for the recommendation!
You should hear it in large orchestra formation. Single violin part, 2 viola parts The continuo section from hell! Bass violins, Basses, plucked instruments and keyboard galore.
The earth shakes!
