Biographies

Bach, Vivaldi and Handel are the three great composers of the Baroque era, though there are many other well known figures, including Albinoni, Pachelbel and Scarlatti. This engaging introduction, interspersed liberally music, shows how the music of these composers graced the courts and churches of Europe from 1600–1750. It is a fascinating story.
