music by amongst others Johann Ludwig Bach, Johann Bernhard Bach, Johann Michael Bach & Johann Sebastian Bach and the cosiest Christmas Carols
------
This Christmas, we will celebrate – perhaps more than ever – with those who are dear to us. With our family, with friends, with those we consider to be part of our family. We will sit down to the table together for a joyful Christmas dinner, full of warm memories and hart-warming music.
And we look for that music in a family that has left its mark unlike any other on the history of music; the Bach family. The initials J.S. say it all, but several other Bachs after him also displayed their musical talent. A fine counterpart to the classic Christmas carols of our own century, with which we end this Christmas feast.
Frohe Weihnachten!
