Great music from the heart of three centuries of German culture: Bach, Beethoven and Strauss. Including Bach's Ich habe genug one of the most exquisite of that composer's 215 cantatas, the program opens with Strauss' luminous meditation for 23 solo strings: the radiant, incandescent music of an old man looking back over a long life.
