Stars: The Kuijken Quartet

Summary: Recorded on the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the death of Bach at The Old Town hall in Leipzig this prograamme features a blend of different chamber music pieces (BWV 1079).

Bach's "Musical Offering" is given a truly historical treatment by the brothers Kuijken and Robert Kohnen. The arrangement is designed specifically for the use of ancient instruments.
