About this listen
In 1736 Leipzig, Cantor Johann Sebastian Bach is feeling oppressed—the city council ignores him, his students are unruly and unappreciative, and the head of the St. Thomas School wants to eliminate the musical curriculum entirely. Then, after an ugly incident at a wedding, his prize student, the First Prefect of his four choirs, disappears. As Bach and his secretary/cousin Elias search the city for the boy, it appears that the school head and the mayor may be in league. And Bach’s oldest daughter, Dorte, begins a relationship with Madame von Zeigler, a dissolute aristocratic intellectual in Leipzig. All comes to a crashing crescendo with a duel, a discovery of hidden secrets and a drop-in visit by Augustus, the Saxony King, to set things right again. Just in time for Bach’s triumphant summer concert in the Coffee Gardens. Another delightful historical mystery—certain to cause Bach scholar’s heads to explode—from award-winning historical novelist James Y. Bartlett.
