Radio 3's "A Bach Christmas" TV advert
on: December 20, 2005, 07:43:17 PM
Has anyone been listening to Radio 3 recently - "A Bach Christmas"?

Well, i saw the advert for it on BBC 1 yesterday - and i was wondering does anyone know what the keyboard piece (by J.S Bach) they use in the background is? I really recognise it, i think it might be from one of the English or French suites? Anyone seen it?

I'm loving all the Bach they've been playing - i've decided Bach is definitely my favourite composer! I can listen to his music for hours and thoroughly enjoy every minute of it. I'm so glad the BBC have dedicated so much time to him.
