Bach goes to Paris

Hear a concert of works by Bach and his contemporaries Rameau, JCF Fischer and Campra.
It’s well known that Bach never left Germany, but what would have happened if he had visited Paris during his lifetime? Would he have met Jean-Phillippe Rameau? Rameau is often credited as being as great a Baroque influence as Bach, but remains relatively unknown in comparison. Johann-Caspar Fischer was heavily influenced by his Parisian contemporaries – despite never studying in Paris – and his music is full of French influence, which can be heard beautifully in his Le Journal du Printemps.
