Christmas by the Bach family / Schlick, Lins, Helling, and Jochens - Capriccio - C

In addition to Johann Sebastian Bach, regarded by many as the greatest composer of all times, other members of this widely ramified family took up the profession of the composer: the first being his sons Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach, Johann Christoph Friedrich, Johann Christian and Wilhelm Friedmann. This release offers Christmas Motets and Highlights from Christmas Cantatas written by these and other members of one of the most prolific families in music history.
