With Century, the artists of harmonia mundi invite you on a thrilling voyage of discovery of music through the ages. The programme of this CD concentrates on the period that saw musical supremacy in Europe shift from Italy to Germany. Paradoxically, Bach was not particularly famous there in his own time – but his sons made the most of their musical inheritance . . .
