Privater Bach: Für sein Debüt bei ARCANA hat der international geschätzte Cembalist Francesco Corti ein Programm erdacht, das sich dem häuslichen Musizieren und Unterrichten im Hause Bach widmet. Neben Werken Bachs erklingen auch solche Komponisten, die sich in Abschriften der Familie erhalten haben bzw. eine besondere Rolle in seinem musikalischen Leben gespielt haben. Sozusagen ein ganz privates Bach-Rezital.
