Bach’s Birthday

Tuesday (March 31, 2026) was J.S. Bach’s 341st birthday. Paid subscribers received Media Room’s essay, “A Brief History of The Brandenburg Concertos.”

Below is his Oboe Concerto in F, beautifully performed by the Netherlands Bach Society and Australian oboist Emma Black.

If there is a more sublime sound than the Baroque oboe I haven’t heard it.
