Music by Bach
The music of J. S. Bach is wonderful in its original state, the way the old master wrote it. But it's so flexible, so adaptable and malleable, that musicians today just can't seem to leave it alone. And lucky for us that they don't. In today's show, recorder virtuoso Bolette Roed plays a Flute Partita by Bach. And members of the San Francisco Symphony play his Orchestral Suite No. 1, in concert in San Francisco.
