J S Bach - Magnificat
The name of J S Bach is of course the one that springs to mind when thinking of the German baroque, but other great talents worked in courts and churches across Germany. Composers such as Händel, Pachelbel and Telemann produced countless musical gems. We present a selection from their wealth of music, including such great works as Pachelbel's canon, part of Handel's Music for the Royal Fireworks, and Bach's wonderful Magnificat.
