5 Comments / Uncategorized /

Every year at this time, I compile a list of some of my favorite recent recordings to recommend for your holiday gift giving. Now more than ever we need to focus on the things that connect us, the things that bring light and positivity into our lives, and I think these musical selections are a great place to start.

Whether you choose to add any of them to your library, give them as gifts, or simply enjoy auditioning them each week, I hope you will enjoy discovering these wonderful musicians and recordings with me over the last weeks of 2023.

German organist and composer Johann Sebastian Bach was born in March of 1685, and every year Sunday Baroque throws a little birthday celebration for the composer. This year, for the first time, it’s a two-part celebration. This weekend is the first installment of the Bach Birthday Bash, and it includes performances by young musicians who love Bach, such as recorder player Lucie Horsch, flutist Brandon Patrick George, and the Catalyst Quartet. It’s the Bach Birthday Bash on Sunday Baroque this weekend.

A fine musical instrument should be played, right? Well, a 1704 Stradivarius violin was stashed away – barely played – for most of its existence. The pristine instrument was awakened from its long slumber, nicknamed the Sleeping Beauty, and purchased in 1995 for violinist Isabelle Faust to use. You’ll hear her play music on it by Johann Sebastian Bach on Sunday Baroque this weekend.
