Volume 219: Bite Sized Bach Record 1

There’s an old business saying that goes, how do you eat a whale? One bite at a time. 

In this episode we take several small bites and a couple of big ones from the incredible output of the composer Johann Sebastian Bach.

Ahhhh Bach.

And to continue that M*A*S*H connection right now in the opening, the scene goes, “Somehow... there's a mathematical precision about Bach, a complexity that adds up to actual simplicity. It goes beyond emotion.”

So get ready to hear some of the more popular of the more than one thousand composed pieces from this master in Volume 219: Bite Sized Bach Record 1.
