Johann Sebastian Bach was just one member of a richly talented family of musicians. In fact, in some circles, the name Bach was synonymous with 'musician'! This show introduces some other members of the Bach family, with music from a recent release by Vox Luminis. Artistic Director Lionel Meunier also shares his insights in an interview in this program.

Johann Christoph Bach: Herr, wende dich und sei mir gnädig; Vox Luminis
Johann Michael Bach: Herr, der König freuet sich; Vox Luminis
Johann Sebastian Bach: Christ lag in Todesbanden; Vox Luminis
