Between Breath and Eternity – The Flute in Bach’s Time

What did the Baroque transverse flute sound like in Bach’s world? What role did it play in the musical life of the 18th century, and why does its distinctive sound continue to fascinate us today? These are the questions explored by the internationally renowned flautist and professor Karl Kaiser. A former principal flautist of the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra, he combines extensive knowledge with lively anecdotes, offering an insight into the sound world of Johann Sebastian Bach that is as entertaining as it is informative. A lecture filled with music, history and delightful surprises.
