BachTalk 1: Alt Bach
Bob Worth, Sonoma Bach Music Director

J.S. Bach’s music is so structurally sturdy that it can survive—even thrive—when re-orchestrated and re-arranged, manipulated and popularized, hung over and thrown down in a myriad of ways. In Alt Bach, we’ll consider and
listen to many different takes on 
Bach, from ‘Switched on Bach’ to the Swingle Singers, from Stokowski’s transcriptions
to Uri Caine’s iconoclastic take on the ‘Goldberg Variations’, from piano arrangements to pop songs. And we’ll consider what it is at the core of 
Bach’s music which allows it to show through—often even to be illuminated by--
​such disparate transformations and indignities.
