Today is Johann Sebastian Bach’s birthday (1685-1750) and I have already listened to some of his music this morning. A fine choice are the two CDs Yo-Yo Ma recorded with the Amsterdam Baroque Orchestra called Simply Baroque and Simply Baroque 2 but I also have a few Glenn Gould recordings and Rostropovich playing Cello suites for my personal Bach festival…. Awoke to the second largest snow fall of the Winter just as Spring is officially supposed to start. Once again the apricot trees bloomed a little too early.
